The federal response to the incident drew internal criticism within the Justice Department. Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota submitted resignations, reportedly in protest over the direction of the investigation. These prosecutors, according to reports, objected to the prioritization of potential charges against civilians present at the scene rather than focusing on the circumstances surrounding the use of lethal force.

According to reports, federal agents arrived at the residence where Becca was staying approximately eight days after the shooting. The arrest occurred without incident around 8 p.m. The charges reportedly include obstruction of a federal officer and impeding law enforcement during an official operation. As of the latest reports, no formal indictment documents have been made publicly available.
Antonio Romanucci, an attorney representing Becca through the law firm Romanucci & Blandin, issued a statement characterizing the arrest as unjust. The statement emphasized that Becca is grieving the loss of her partner while facing charges related to exercising constitutional rights to document and protest what she perceived as injustice. The legal team suggested that the timing and nature of the charges may be influenced by political considerations.
