Detroit U.S. Attorney Dawn N. Ison has announced that she's resigning, effective Sunday, a day before Donald Trump takes office.
“Capping my years-long public service to the Eastern District of Michigan as the United States Attorney will forever serve as the crowning point of my career,” she said in a statement. “I want to express my sincere appreciation to President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland for the opportunity to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in this District."
"With the extraordinary talent at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, I am extremely proud of all that we have accomplished to reduce violent crime, empower communities through transparency and engagement, and protect the civil rights of all within our borders."
Ison was nominated by President Biden on Nov. 12, 2021, and confirmed by
the Senate on Dec, 14, 2021.
