Gov. Walz Files 16 FOIA for Records on Federal Actions 'Targeting' Minnesota
Walz said the requests seek records showing how far the alleged campaign reaches and what it has cost Minnesotans, after a judge called subpoenas retaliatory.
- Governor Tim Walz announced Tuesday his office filed 16 FOIA requests with federal agencies seeking records on the Trump Administration's actions toward Minnesota since January 20, 2025.

- Minnesotans have faced a 'coordinated campaign of retribution' for nearly a year, Governor Walz said, citing more than 100 federal demands, investigations, lawsuits, and funding threats.
- The requests target numerous federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Treasury to identify coordinated actions and leadership.
- Democrats have repeatedly cited a post from President Donald Trump during Operation Metro Surge declaring a 'Day of Reckoning & Retribution' was coming as evidence of targeted political retaliation.
