Alina Habba on Monday stepped down as the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey after multiple court decisions found she was occupying the post illegally.

"While I was focused on delivering real results, judges in my state took advantage of a flawed blue slip tradition and became weapons for the politicized left," she said. "For months, these judges stopped conducting trials and entering sentences, leaving violent criminals on the streets."

"As a result of the Third Circuit's ruling, and to protect the stability and integrity of the office which I love, I have decided to step down in my role as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey," she added.

"Make no mistake, you can take the girl out of New Jersey but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl," she warned.

Habba previously served as President Donald Trump's personal attorney.
