The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed the individual selected to succeed Alina Habba as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, just hours after federal district court judges opted to install her chief deputy in the role.
In a statement shared on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi praised Habba, a lawyer originally from New Jersey, for her effective efforts in enhancing public safety in the state. Bondi noted that despite Habba’s strong performance, certain judges with political motivations had blocked her from continuing in the position.
As a result, Bondi announced, “the First Assistant United States Attorney in New Jersey has just been removed.” She emphasized that the DOJ will not permit “rogue judges” to operate unchecked, particularly when their actions infringe on the President’s constitutional authority under Article II.
.@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.

This development follows a vote by the judges to substitute Habba with Desiree Grace, who had been serving as her first assistant, coinciding with the expiration of Habba’s 120-day interim tenure. Grace, a Republican, has been a federal prosecutor since 2016 and was previously the chief of the criminal division at the time of her elevation to first assistant.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reacted to Bondi’s post by asserting that the New Jersey district judges’ decision was driven by politics rather than legal principles. He accused them of ousting President Trump’s nominee, Alina Habba, and appointing her deputy instead, while allegedly coordinating with New Jersey’s senators. Blanche stated that this maneuver would fail, and under the President’s authority, the deputy had been terminated immediately.
The district judges in NJ just proved this was never about law—it was about politics. They forced out President Trump’s pick, @USAttyHabba, then installed her deputy, colluding with the NJ Senators along the way. It won’t work. Pursuant to the President’s authority, we have… https://t.co/2Jyphdhaum

Back in March, President Donald Trump named Habba—who hails from an Iraqi family—to the interim U.S. Attorney position for New Jersey. This followed the nomination of the prior officeholder, John Giordano, to become the U.S. ambassador to Namibia.
Earlier this month, Trump put forward Habba’s name for a full four-year term. However, New Jersey’s Democratic Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim have expressed opposition to her confirmation, and the Senate has not yet acted on the nomination.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune could fix all of this by pushing Habba’s nomination forward for Senate confirmation. Will he?
