 President Joe Biden last month chose Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Provenzino to replace Judge Wilhelmina Wright, who retired. Provenzino is focused on prosecuting human trafficking, including three dozen defendants who were part of a ring based in Thailand. She also helped convict former Minnesota Republican Party operative Tony Lazzaro at his sex trafficking trial last year. Provenzino told the Judiciary Committee that she's proud of her work with law enforcement across the state.
