The lying legacy media is at it again, pumping out their favorite fairy tale to smear President Trump’s America First agenda. This time, they’re screeching about a supposed “mass exodus” of DOJ Civil Rights Division employees quitting in droves over the January 7, 2026, ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Yeah, they got the date wrong in their hysteria—it’s January 7, not 6—but facts never slowed down these hacks. The truth? It’s no tidal wave of principled patriots fleeing; it’s a handful of deep state holdovers throwing tantrums because they can’t weaponize the department against law enforcement anymore. With the dust still settling from that justified self-defense takedown of a rampaging protester, let’s gut this bogus narrative and expose it for the anti-Trump hit job it is.
The Real Deal on the Minneapolis Mess: Self-Defense, Not Scandal
First off, rewind to January 7, 2026, outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. An ICE agent, facing down a mob of agitators blocking the Surge Operation against fraud rings, gets charged by a Honda driven by Renee Good. Cellphone footage shows the car barreling forward in what federal officials called an act of domestic terrorism. The agent fires in self-defense, and Good doesn’t make it. No mystery here—it’s a clear-cut case of an officer protecting himself from vehicular assault. But the radicals flipped the script, demanding probes into the agent while ignoring the chaos they stirred up.
Enter the DOJ under Trump’s no-nonsense team. On January 13, 2026, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche shut down the noise: No basis for a criminal civil rights probe into the shooting. Why? Because the facts don’t scream abuse—they scream justified force. Instead, the focus shifted to investigating Good’s widow for potential ties to activist groups egging on the protest. That’s smart policing, not scandal. But cue the media meltdown, twisting a few resignations into a department-wide revolt.
Busting the “Mass Exodus” Myth: It’s a Trickle, Not a Flood
The fake news brigade loves inflating numbers to manufacture crisis. Headlines blare “wave of resignations” and “mass exodus,” but peel back the hype, and it’s pathetic. In the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section—the unit that probes cop shootings—six supervisors announced departures on January 13, 2026. Six. Not sixty, not six hundred. And here’s the kicker: These weren’t snap decisions over Minneapolis. DOJ brass confirmed these folks had applied for early retirement well before the January 7 incident. We’re talking plans locked in months ago, unrelated to the shooting. But the media ignores that to peddle their “protest quits” fantasy.
Fake news media, foiled again! The news of “mass resignation” was bogus, and now debunked. We have lots of work to do! https://t.co/ieG2JqqWdZ

Over in the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s office, another six prosecutors bailed the same day, including the second-in-command. These whiners griped about pushing to probe the widow while holding off on the agent. Boo hoo. This isn’t a mass walkout—it’s a dozen total across two spots in a department of thousands. Compare that to the real purge: Hundreds of holdover lawyers fired or fleeing since Trump took back the reins last year. This “exodus” is a drop in the bucket, amplified by hacks desperate to undermine the cleanup of Biden-era politicization.
Why the Tantrums? Deep State Dinosaurs Can’t Handle the Heat
These quits aren’t about principle; they’re about power slipping away. The Civil Rights Division under the old guard was a leftist playground, chasing “systemic racism” witch hunts and pattern-or-practice probes that handcuffed cops. Trump’s team, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, flipped the script—scrapping woke mission statements focused on diversity crusades and zeroing in on real threats like fraud and terrorism. Those retiring supervisors? They offered to drop everything for a Minneapolis probe, but got told no because the evidence didn’t warrant it. Good riddance to bureaucrats who’d rather grandstand than enforce the law.
In Minnesota, the departing crew was knee-deep in the Feeding Our Future fraud mess—billions siphoned off under Tim Walz’s watch. Trump’s Surge Operation is finally cracking down, deporting the crooks and exposing the rot. These prosecutors balked at investigating the widow’s potential role in the protest violence? Sounds like they were too cozy with the sanctuary city crowd. Their exits clear the deck for America First enforcers who’ll prioritize borders over bellyaching.

The Bigger Picture: Trump’s DOJ Drain is Working, and the Left Hates It
This manufactured drama fits the pattern—the same media that buried Hunter’s laptop and hyped Russia hoaxes now twists a few quits into Armageddon. But the numbers don’t lie: DOJ staffing is stabilizing under Trump, with fresh blood ready to tackle real crimes like the Somali fraud networks bleeding Minnesota dry. Since January 2025, excess departures hit hundreds, but that’s the swamp draining itself. Polls show 58 percent of Americans back stricter immigration enforcement, up from 2024 lows, proving the public wants results, not resistance.
Bottom line? The “large number” quitting over Minneapolis is pure fiction—a media mirage to distract from Trump’s wins. A dozen deep staters packing up isn’t a crisis; it’s progress. Let the fake news wail while America gets secure again. These crybabies can take their early retirements and golf— the adults are back in charge, and the cleanup’s just getting started.
