MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON
|
A group of senior prosecutors resigned from the Justice Department this week. They didn’t leave quietly. It wasn’t over paperwork. The prosecutors walked because Trump’s DOJ refused to investigate what may be one of the most serious excessive-force killings by a federal agent in decades.
Renee Good is dead. Video evidence contradicts ICE’s story about her death. But, instead of doing what the Justice Department has always done, sending in the Civil Rights Division, Trump’s administration slammed the door shut on the case. Meanwhile, Trump’s FBI has begun digging into Good’s past, apparently attempting to smear her name while shutting local Minnesota authorities out of the investigation.
This is not a judgment call. This is a cover-up.
When career officials resign en masse, they’re sounding an alarm. They’re telling us the rule of law is being bent to protect power—and to shield a brutal immigration enforcement regime from scrutiny.

This is how authoritarian systems work: first the violence, then the insulation of the perpetrators, then the silencing of anyone who objects.
Donald Trump and JD Vance rushed to defend the shooter. Kristi Noem called Good’s interaction with police "domestic terrorism." And DOJ leadership told its own civil rights prosecutors: Stand down. Don’t go to the scene. Don’t ask questions.
That’s not justice. That’s enforced impunity. Let’s take a stand against it together.
