According to people familiar with the situation, at least five prosecutors have resigned amid controversy over how the U.S. Justice Department is managing the investigation.
In a separate development, a Justice Department official said Wednesday that there is no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation.
The FBI’s investigation into the death of Renee Good is ongoing.
Tensions between federal agents and members of the public continue to simmer, six days after Good was shot in the head while driving away in her Honda Pilot. At one scene near the site of her death, clouds of gas filled a Minneapolis street. A man scrubbed his eyes with snow and cried out for help after federal agents in a Jeep sprayed an orange irritant and then drove off.
The confrontation underscores ongoing public outrage and unrest in Minneapolis as demonstrations continue in response to both federal immigration enforcement and the deadly encounter that sparked them.
