The FBI agent who initially began working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Soon after the agent opened the civil rights investigation, she was ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer. The FBI blocked the BCA from participating in the investigation.

The New York Times first reported the resignation.

The agent’s resignation comes as the agency has undergone another purge of seasoned FBI agents across several states, multiple sources familiar with the departures told CNN. Some of the people who are being pushed out were confronted after the bureau conducted a review of an internal messaging system and discovered instances when they made negative comments about President Donald Trump, according to the people familiar.

1. I disagree with those who say

"The good ones should stay and fight from within the system".

We are way past that.

No, people of integrity need to get well away and let the criminals stand alone in their own filth.

It will be easier to deal with them that way.

2. I agree with you.

At this point, more than ever before, we are faced with the choice of will we have a democracy or not. This is that "following orders" moment.

No more Anonymous or 'adults in the room'. You oppose fascism or you don't.

The argument that people that resign will be replaced by someone worse? As you say, I'd like to know how many allies and enemies I have before I fight. Or while I fight.

The moral choice, in the minority, is to cut ties with everything this government does.
