The top federal prosecutor in Minnesota has warned that his office is struggling to handle a surge of immigration cases stemming from President Donald Trump’s mass deportation push.
U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen, who was nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate in October 2025, wrote in filings to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals that his team has been forced to shift its “already limited resources” in order to handle the lawsuits filed by immigrants arrested and detained by ICE over the past few weeks.
This complaint was backed by multiple Department of Justice attorneys, who said the “sheer number” of immigration cases in January alone is “imposing a crushing burden” on federal prosecutors. “This has, in turn, compelled U.S. Attorney’s Offices to shift resources away from other critical priorities, including criminal matters,” they wrote.
