DOJ sends surge of prosecutors to Minneapolis to tackle rising backlog of fraud, immigration cases

The Department of Justice is sending a surge of prosecutors to Minnesota to help handle fraud and immigration cases following recent resignations, according to federal sources. This move aims to address growing backlogs in these areas, which have been exacerbated by the departures. The additional prosecutors will focus on handling high-priority cases involving financial crimes and immigration matters. Their presence is seen as an effort to maintain continuity and stability in the judicial system.
