Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba confirmed Monday that she is resigning from her position after a federal appeals court ruled that she was serving in it unlawfully.

In statements on social media, both Habba and Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed Habba’s decision to step down. Habba said that the move would protect “the stability and integrity of the office which I love” while Bondi was critical of the appeals court order.
