Attorney General Pam Bondi has revealed that a suspect tried to confront Alina Habba, the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, entering her office and destroying property there, before fleeing.

That person now is being sought.

“Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend
@USAttyHabba — destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene,” Bondi confirmed on social media.

“Thankfully, Alina is ok. Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period. This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”

She continued, “We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice. Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.”

The attack comes amid numerous calls for violence against federal officials and law enforcement officers by leftists fighting President Donald Trump’s law-and-order agenda.

There have been open calls for violence, there even have been death threats, against federal prosecutors, federal border enforcement agents and more, even from Democrat and other leftist officials in cities and states.

Habba said, in a statement, “I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job.”

Habba is responsible for federal criminal prosecutions and civil litigations in New Jersey when the U.S. government has an interest.

There are about 150 federal prosecutors and another 130 support personnel working in her office.

Details about the suspect, and the attack that damaged property, were not released immediately.
