Pam Bondi's department is hemorrhaging prosecutors, and nowhere is the crisis more visible than in Minnesota. The state's U.S. Attorney's office has been decimated, shrinking from 70 assistant federal prosecutors under Biden to as few as 17 now.
Bondi herself has proven that she will not exercise restraint when it comes to expressing her loyalty to Donald Trump. She recently threatened journalists on live television, stating that they would be held accountable if they continued to report on anti-immigration and Customs Enforcement protests. Her behavior has raised alarm among conservative media figures.
Several high-profile cases have come to a standstill because of the administration's handling of immigration enforcement campaigns. The department is struggling to process humanely and legally, with judges openly complaining about late filings and basic constitutional requirements being violated.
One prosecutor, Julie Le, described her own family as at risk of being swept up in the same dragnet she was forced to defend. She begged ICE to comply with court orders, emailing in 24-point font and threatening to name names in filings.
The Department of Justice used to be a career aspiration for lawyers across all backgrounds who believed they could serve the public and the law. Under Trump, it has become increasingly becoming an agency of career suicide, where experienced attorneys are fleeing.
Bondi's behavior has been widely criticized, with some media figures warning that the department should only exist if it is nonpartisan. The National Review warned that supporting the incumbent president being a condition of enforcing the law would be "too dangerous to liberty otherwise."

. It seems like Pam Bondi and her team are more focused on pleasing Trump than doing their jobs right. I mean, threatening journalists on live TV? That's just unacceptable 
. And it's not just that - it sounds like they're letting politics get in the way of justice. I've seen some cases where prosecutors have been forced to stop because of stuff going down with immigration enforcement... it's just not right 
.
. It's like they're being bullied into silence or something. I get that we need people in politics to care about certain issues, but not at the expense of our justice system 
. We should want lawyers who are passionate about serving the public and upholding the law, not just doing whatever Trump wants

70 prosecutors down to 17? that's just crazy. and it's not like they're all conservatives either, some of them have been working on civil rights cases. what's going on is a disaster. Bondi's behavior is just plain scary 
"
I mean, think about it... the US Attorney's office in Minnesota used to have 70 assistants now they got down to 17? That's like a train derailing right before our eyes! And all because Pam Bondi and her department are more interested in pleasing Trump than doing their job right. It's crazy how some people can be so blind to the consequences of their actions, especially when it comes to human rights 
. I remember when I was younger, my dad used to work for a non-profit org that dealt with immigration issues and they always said the Department of Justice is supposed to be above politics... now it seems like we're seeing the opposite happening. What's going on here? 
she's basically turning the us attorney's office into a trump boot camp 
. i'm not surprised to hear that judges are complaining about late filings and violating basic constitutional requirements 
. newsflash: following the law isn't optional 
?
and then theres the fact that high-profile cases are coming to a standstill because of bondis department just messing everything up its not just about immigration either, its basic human rights being violated 
Pam Bondi's dept is losing prosecutors left & right - 70 in minnesota now?! that's like a huge chunk of their staff gone! 
stats say between 2017-2020, the us attorney's office lost over 20% of its staff... meanwhile, immigration cases are just piling up 
& u can't even trust the ppl in charge anymore
