Some Minnesota prosecutors were let go this week after they gave notice that they resigned due to internal disagreements regarding the federal probe into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shooting of Renee Good.

Five federal prosecutors were fired at the direction of the Department of Justice, headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to Fox News.

The story about internal disagreements about the federal probe was first reported on by the New York Times. Sources say they were supposed to get paid leave months before they were fired on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good during an immigration crackdown in the state.

The FBI is currently heading an investigation into what happened.

A spokesperson for the Department of Justice said that Ross shot Good because she tried to run him over with her car.

Multiple senior prosecutors within the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division resigned Tuesday over the decision not to look into the shooter, according to different reports.

Officials in the Trump administration have defended Ross, saying his actions were in self-defense, while Democrats have blamed ICE and called for agents to leave Minnesota.

Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced that more ICE agents will be in Minnesota for another immigration crackdown.
