Attorney General Bondi Addresses Threats Against U.S. Attorney Habba

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a troubling incident involving Alina Habba, the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, who was confronted by an individual on Wednesday night. The assailant allegedly destroyed property in Habba’s office before fleeing the scene.

In a statement, Bondi expressed relief that Habba was unharmed. “Thankfully, Alina is ok,” she said. She emphasized that any violence or threats against federal officers will not be tolerated, citing a growing trend of radical attacks on law enforcement across the nation.

Bondi’s comments come amid increasing concern over safety for federal law enforcement. She assured the public that authorities would pursue the suspect rigorously. “We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice,” Bondi said. “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 ensure their safety,” she continued.

Alina Habba, who was sworn in as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey on March 28, 2025, holds significant responsibilities in overseeing federal criminal prosecutions. Her role includes supervising a staff of approximately 155 federal prosecutors, according to the Justice Department.

Further details about the incident remain sparse, with no additional publicly available information about the assailant or the extent of the damage caused in the office.
