Corey Amundson, the head of the Justice Department's public integrity section, resigned following a forced reassignment to a task force focused on sanctuary cities, a move that reflects ongoing tensions within the department under the Trump administration. In his resignation letter, he emphasized his commitment to apolitical law enforcement and expressed pride in his extensive career combating corruption. Amundson's departure is part of a broader trend of senior officials being reassigned, which many perceive as an effort to undermine the non-political nature of federal law enforcement amidst a shift towards prioritizing immigration issues.
The resignation of the head of the Justice Department's public integrity section highlights resistance to political reassignments aimed at altering the agency's focus.
