New Jersey, U.S. — Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba was the subject of an attempted confrontation on Wednesday night, according to former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“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 posted on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday. “Thankfully, Alina is ok.”
Bondi stressed that any form of violence or threats against federal officers will not be tolerated. “Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period,” she wrote. She further noted that such incidents are part of a concerning trend as “radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”
Details about the suspect or motives behind the alleged incident have not yet been released.
“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,” Bondi added.
Habba, a known close ally of former President Donald Trump, previously served as one of his personal attorneys and as a counselor in the White House before her appointment as Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
The incident highlights the growing security concerns for federal officials amid rising tensions and attacks against law enforcement personnel nationwide.
