Biden nominates Andrew Luger for U.S. Attorney, picks Eddie Frizell for U.S. Marshal

[question everything]

President Joe Biden nominated Andrew Luger on Friday as Minnesota's next U.S. attorney and picked Metro Transit's police chief to be the first Black U.S. marshal to serve in the state.

Biden selected Luger as his appointment to return to the office that Luger led during the Obama administration from 2014 to 2017. The White House also announced the nomination of Metro Transit Police Chief Eddie Frizell as U.S. marshal for the District of Minnesota as part of its latest wave of federal law enforcement appointments.

Luger and Frizell mark the first major federal law enforcement leadership nominations under the Biden administration. Both must win Senate approval before taking office. Should Luger be confirmed, he would return to a job from which he was fired less than two months into the Trump administration.

1. Luger got sacked by TFG almost immediately upon taking office.

He's very good at his job and I'm glad he'll be back.

2. I met him many years ago when he ran for the DFL endorsement for county attorney.

I was really impressed with him & supported him for that position (Freeman won the endorsement). Also glad he's back as U.S. Attorney.
