US EditionDOJ to subpoena Minnesota Democratic officials, including Gov. Walz, in immigration obstruction probe
- On Tuesday, federal prosecutors served six grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Jacob Frey, Kaohly Her and Ramsey and Hennepin County officials.
- The fatal shooting on Jan. 7 triggered protests and a Jan. 12 lawsuit seeking to halt Operation Metro Surge, which Homeland Security said led to more than 10,000 arrests.
- The subpoenas seek documents on whether officials obstructed federal immigration enforcement, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s office ordered to produce records to a grand jury on Feb. 3.
- The move represents a sharp escalation between the DOJ and Minnesota officials, as the Justice Department called the state lawsuit filed soon after the shooting 'legally frivolous' and state and city leaders called the subpoenas intimidation.
- Legal experts say evidence for indictments appears thin, complicating prosecutions, while the statute used in Jan. 6, 2021 cases and deployment of more than 2,000 federal agents with roughly 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol officers raise national implications.
