In a bold move that underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to law and order, Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately fired Desiree Leigh Grace, the replacement for Alina Habba, after a group of activist federal judges—many appointed by Obama and Biden—voted to oust Habba as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. This decision came after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a blatantly political pressure campaign to remove Habba, who had been effectively cleaning up New Jersey’s crime-ridden streets.
Habba’s term was set to expire on Friday at 11:59 PM, but instead of allowing due process to take its course, left-wing judges intervened, bending to the will of Jeffries and the radical Democrat establishment. Their reasoning? Habba had the audacity to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver, a move that clearly struck a nerve with the corrupt political elite. The judges, led by Obama-appointed Judge Renée Marie Bumb, swiftly appointed Desiree Leigh Grace as Habba’s replacement—a decision that lasted mere hours before Bondi took decisive action.
The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job.
Alina Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who has to go.
She must be rejected by the Federal District Court judges who are considering whether to retain her.…

“@USAttyHabba has been doing a great job in making NJ safe again. Nonetheless, politically minded judges refused to allow her to continue in her position, replacing Alina with the First Assistant,” Bondi declared. “Accordingly, the First Assistant United States Attorney in New Jersey has just been removed.”
Bondi’s statement sent shockwaves through the liberal media, which has long shielded activist judges and Democrat operatives from accountability. She made it clear that the Department of Justice under President Trump will not tolerate judicial overreach, especially when it threatens the President’s constitutional authority. “This Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges—especially when they threaten the President’s core Article II powers,” Bondi added, reaffirming the administration’s unwavering stance against the deep state’s attempts to undermine justice.

This showdown is just the latest example of the left’s desperation to obstruct President Trump’s America First agenda. While the liberal media paints Bondi’s actions as “authoritarian,” the truth is that she is upholding the rule of law against a cabal of unelected judges who think they can override the will of the people. President Trump has consistently fought against the weaponization of the justice system, and Bondi’s swift action proves that his administration will not back down.
The left’s meltdown over this decision is telling. They fear strong, independent prosecutors like Habba because they know that real justice threatens their grip on power. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to deliver on his promise to drain the swamp—one corrupt actor at a time.
