Alina Habba resigns over court ruling — but warns: ‘Do not mistake compliance for surrender’
The president’s former personal attorney Alina Habba has resigned from the U.S. attorney’s office for New Jersey after an appeals court ruled that the administration had improperly installed her in the position.
U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi decried the ruling and accused “politicized judges” of making Habba’s position “untenable” and lauded her record of achievements.
‘Make no mistake, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl.’
Habba released a defiant statement where she blamed judges who have become “weapons for the politicized left” for her resignation.
“For months, these judges stopped conducting trials and entering sentences, leaving violent criminals on the streets. They joined New Jersey senators, who care more about fighting President Trump than the well being of residents which they serve,” Habba wrote. “What these obstructionists misunderstood is that my loyalty is not to politics, a title, or a ZIP code. It is to this great country.”
The panel of three judges on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that Habba was disqualified from the position. She had been sworn in as the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey at the end of March.
“As a result of the Third Circuit’s ruling, and to protect the stability and integrity of the office which I love, I have decided to step down in my role as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey,” Habba continued.
“But do not mistake compliance for surrender,” she added. “This decision will not weaken the Justice Department and it will not weaken me. My fight will now stretch across the country. As we wait for further review of the courts ruling, I will continue to serve the Department of Justice as the Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys.”
Bondi said that the Department of Justice would continue to seek further review of the ruling and install Habba back in the office if it is able to overturn the decision.
“Make no mistake, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl,” Habba concluded.

Habba was also the target of a bizarre incident in November where a man tried to “confront her” and then destroyed property at her office, according to a statement from Bondi.
“Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period,” Bondi said in a statement at the time. “This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”

Illinois, Gov. Pritzker have released almost 1,800 violent illegal aliens back onto the streets in defiance of ICE, DHS says
Sanctuary politicians have apparently been ignoring orders from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for months, effectively allowing criminal illegal aliens to be released back onto the streets — and the Department of Homeland Security is not happy about it.
The DHS reported on Monday in a press release that Democrat politicians have repeatedly defied ICE by ignoring arrest detainers.
‘We are calling on Governor Pritzker and his administration to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Illinois’ custody.’
The press release singled out Illinois and Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker, one of the most vocal political opponents of ICE operations under President Trump.
The press release stated that 1,768 criminal illegal aliens have been released in Illinois alone since January 20, 2025.

The crimes committed by these illegal aliens include homicide, assault, burglary, robbery, dangerous drug offenses, weapons offenses, and sexual offenses, according to the press release.
There are currently 4,015 aliens in Illinois’ custody, the majority of whom have committed crimes such as those listed above.
“Governor Pritzker and his fellow Illinois sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, pedophiles, and kidnappers back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and his administration to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Illinois’ custody,” McLaughlin continued. “It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”
In September, ICE demanded that leaders in sanctuary states like California, New York, and Illinois cooperate with the federal agency to keep criminals off the streets.
ICE also warned these states that it would “engage with the Department of Justice and other federal partners to pursue all appropriate measures to end their inadvisable and irresponsible obstruction of the apprehension and removal of criminal illegal aliens.”
Previously, Illinois and New York sent ICE responses that “underscored their refusal to honor ICE detainers.” California did not respond, according to ICE.
According to its website, ICE issues immigration detainers to law enforcement to ask them to hold suspects for up to 48 hours longer than their scheduled release.
ICE issues these arrest detainers after it has already established probable cause that suspects are removable, usually on account of convictions for other crimes such as homicide, sexual assault, burglaries and robberies, and drug and human trafficking.
ICE makes it clear that honoring arrest detainers helps guarantee safety for both the public and law enforcement officers: “When jails, prisons, or other confinement facilities agree to honor immigration detainers, ICE officers can take custody of removable aliens in a safe, controlled environment instead of at-large in the community.”
DHS’ Monday press release included nine mug shots of the “worst of the worst” criminals who had previously been released in Illinois after their detainer requests were ignored by state officials.
The criminal illegal aliens either are now in ICE custody or have been removed from the United States.
