The three new resignations at the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota include a division chief. The departures add to the already significant exodus of veteran attorneys from the office there in recent weeks. They come as the Trump administration continues its ramped up immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, where federal agents have shot and killed two U.S. citizens this month, Renee Macklin Good and Alex Preddy. At least six federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office there recently quit after the Justice Department pressured them to investigate Good's widow. Meanwhile, an FBI agent who tried to investigate Good's killing resigned last week after being pressured to drop the matter. Ryan Lucas, NPR News, Washington.

TRUMP characterized the fleet as a massive armada and added, quote, like with Venezuela, it is ready, willing and able to rapidly fulfill its mission with speed and violence if necessary. Last June, the US Bombed Iran nuclear enrichment facilities in what was called Operation Midnight Hammer. Trump earlier this month already threatened to attack Iran over the government's violent crackdowns on anti regime protesters, killing more than an estimated 6,000. The death toll is believed to be much higher, though government estimates are lower. Trump also wrote in his post he wants to negotiate a deal that would allow Iran no nuclear weapons. He added, quote, the next attack will be far worse. Don't make that happen again. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.
