PHOENIX – Gary M. Restaino has been notified that his work as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona is over.
Restaino was informed by the White House, which thanked him for his service. As a presidential appointee, he is subject to removal by the sitting president. Restaino was appointed by former President Joe Biden, a Democrat who lost last year’s election to Republican Donald Trump.
“Getting the opportunity to lead an office in which I have worked for many years has been energizing,” Restaino said in a release that highlighted his accomplishment, some of which include:
In fiscal year 2024, the district led the nation in criminal consequences for illegal entry and reentry into the United States.
Intervention in an election lawsuit “to ensure that Arizona voters have access to ballot drop boxes free from intimidation.”
Restaino became United States Attorney in November 2021 after 20 years of service as a federal employee, including two years in the Peace Corps in Paraguay and 18 years as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Arizona.
