BREAKING: Justice Department Subpoenas Walz, Frey, Other Leaders Amid Opposition to ICE

The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota’s Democrat leaders amid claims of conspiracy to impede federal law enforcement, sources say.

The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, and the attorneys for Ramsey County and Hennepin County, sources told Fox News.

Mayor Frey’s office confirmed receipt of the subpoena, according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has dispatched agents to Minneapolis in order to detain and deport illegal aliens.

Democratic officials have signaled their opposition to the presence of the federal law enforcement. Mayor Frey recently used profanity in urging ICE to leave the city, and Gov. Walz suggested President Donald Trump was “at war” with him.

The two made those remarks after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 while she was driving her car, right after her car appeared to make contact with him. She had been using the car for hours to obstruct traffic and frustrate ICE’s law enforcement efforts.

Protests against the presence of federal law enforcement have continued in the Twin Cities area.

The Daily Signal reached out to the DOJ and the offices of Walz, Ellison, and Frey, but did not receive an immediate response.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
