In July 2021, President Joe Biden nominated Rollins to be the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts. She was confirmed by the United States Senate by a 50–50 vote, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. She is an advocate for criminal justice reform. She resigned in May 2023 after an investigation revealed multiple ethics violations, including that she had leaked government secrets to influence the election of a political ally.
