DOJ Launches Civil Rights Investigation into Minneapolis Soros-Backed DA Mary Moriarty
In a bold move to address concerns about potential racial bias in the justice system, Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced a Department of Justice investigation into Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, a progressive district attorney widely seen as part of George Soros’ network of left-wing prosecutors.
The investigation centers on a controversial directive issued by Moriarty encouraging prosecutors to consider the race of defendants during bail hearings and plea deals — a move critics argue violates federal Civil Rights law.
DOJ: Race-Based Justice Under Scrutiny
The DOJ launched its probe following the release of a public letter by Moriarty advocating for race-conscious legal strategies. According to the DOJ, this policy may represent a “pattern or practice of depriving persons of rights” protected by the U.S. Constitution.
In a letter dated May 2, 2025, Bondi wrote:
“The Department of Justice is opening an investigation to determine whether the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) is engaged in a pattern or practice of depriving persons of rights… secured or protected by the Constitution.”
She emphasized that the investigation will focus on whether the illegal consideration of race is influencing prosecutorial decisions, particularly regarding plea deals and bond recommendations.
Controversial Policy Highlights “Woke” Prosecution
Moriarty’s internal guidelines allegedly instructed staff to factor in racial disparities when negotiating plea deals. The directive stated:
“Prosecutors should be identifying and addressing racial disparities at decision points… Racial disparity should be part of the overall analysis.”
Such instructions have sparked backlash among legal experts and civil rights advocates who argue that equal treatment under the law must remain a cornerstone of the American legal system.
Background: Soros and the Rise of Progressive DAs
Mary Moriarty is one of several district attorneys across the U.S. backed by Soros-funded organizations committed to criminal justice reform. However, critics claim many of these DAs prioritize political ideology over public safety, often refusing to prosecute politically sensitive cases or repeat offenders.
Examples abound, such as Democratic staffers involved in politically motivated crimes or anti-business demonstrations where prosecution was declined.
AG Bondi: No Final Judgments Yet
While the investigation is still in its early stages, Bondi clarified that the DOJ has not reached any conclusions:
“Please be assured that we have not reached any conclusions… We will consider all relevant information, and we welcome your assistance in helping to identify what that might be.”
She also encouraged cooperation, noting that similar federal inquiries are often resolved without litigation.
Final Thoughts
This high-profile DOJ probe into Mary Moriarty’s racial equity policies will likely become a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over “woke prosecution,” Soros-backed DAs, and racial bias in the justice system. As the investigation unfolds, it may have nationwide implications for how local prosecutors approach race, crime, and civil rights.
