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.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson and other officials who resigned expressed concerns about the exclusion of state law enforcement agencies, such as the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, from participating in reviews of the incident. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued statements indicating that there was insufficient basis for certain types of investigations while emphasizing commitment to prosecuting obstruction of federal officers.

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.

Sources familiar with the case indicate that the charges center on verbal communications and encouragement provided to Renee during the encounter with federal agents. Legal experts have noted that obstruction charges in contexts involving civilians present during law enforcement operations can be complex and often involve questions about the extent of protected speech and conduct.

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.
