The Trump administration believes it has found a workaround to keep the president’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney and outflank federal judges who sought to replace her.

On Thursday, one day before Alina Habba's tenure as the Interim United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey was set to expire, the White House withdrew her nomination for the post.

The Trump administration showed they’re willing to fight over this. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday evening that the first assistant United States attorney in New Jersey — Grace’s current position — was fired.

A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday against a New Jersey law that banned private companies from contracting with the federal government in immigration enforcement. The ruling is the latest win for President Donald Trump‘s federal immigration policies.

Desiree Grace said she would lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey as federal judges ordered, even though Trump officials fired her.
