By handing over ICE shooting investigation, Rosen betrays Minnesota

Since President Donald Trump took office a year ago and chose Pam Bondi as the U.S. attorney general, the Department of Justice has become shamelessly and dangerously politicized.

Until now, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota had been spared, but that is no longer the case. U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen has torched that reputation and unforgivably betrayed Minnesotans seeking a full and fair investigation into a federal agent's fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7. When Rosen allowed the FBI to assume full control of the investigation and barred the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators from the process, he turned his back on the state.

The prompt resignations of six prominent prosecutors, most significantly First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, on Jan. 13 is a screeching alarm about the independence and integrity of the office, which Rosen was sworn into last October.
