The Department of Justice has issued criminal grand jury subpoenas to at least five top Democratic officials in Minnesota who are accused of obstructing a surge of federal law enforcement officers supporting Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
Federal investigators are targeting Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul, among others, marking a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s clash with Democratic officials who have criticized operations as a violent assault on the state and its residents.
