Joe Thompson, who was Acting U.S. Attorney and investigated billions in fraud in Minnesota, has resigned along with five other federal prosecutors.
The New York Times is reporting Thompson and other prosecutors resigned after they were pushed to investigate the widow of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
Thompson was the lead prosecutor in the Feeding Our Future fraud investigation in Minnesota, and was appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as acting U.S. Attorney in Minnesota earlier this year. As First Assistant U.S. Attorney, he announced additional charges related to various fraud investigations in state programs in December 2025.
