Minnesota Democrats who were served grand jury subpoenas\u00a0as part of a federal investigation into an alleged conspiracy to obstruct or impede federal law enforcement during ongoing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are now speaking out, saying the justice system is being weaponized against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The criticism comes after the Justice Department and the FBI served<\/a> the subpoenas Tuesday to six offices, including the Governor\u2019s Office, the Attorney General\u2019s office and the Minneapolis Mayor\u2019s Office. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Less than two weeks ago, federal agents shot and killed a Minnesotan in broad daylight. Now, instead of seriously investigating the killing of Renee Good, Trump is weaponizing the justice system against any leader who dares stand up to him,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement,<\/u><\/a> adding that his office received a subpoena for “records and documents related to my office’s work with respect to federal immigration enforcement.”<\/p>\n

FBI DIRECTOR PATEL WARNS ELECTED OFFICIALS \u2018NO ONE\u2019 IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL SCRUTINY AMID MINNESOTA INVESTIGATION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Let’s\u00a0be clear about why this is happening: Donald Trump<\/a> is coming after the people of Minnesota, and\u00a0I’m\u00a0standing in his way,” Ellison added. “I will not be intimidated, and I will not stop working to protect Minnesotans from Trump’s campaign of retaliation and revenge.”<\/p>\n

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in his own <\/u><\/a>statement<\/u> <\/a>that, “The State of Minnesota will not be drawn into political theater.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This Justice Department investigation, sparked<\/a> by calls for accountability in the face of violence, chaos, and the killing of Renee Good, does not seek justice. It is a partisan distraction. Minnesotans are more concerned with safety and peace rather than with baseless legal tactics aimed at intimidating public servants standing shoulder to shoulder with their community,” Walz said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“My focus has always been protecting the people of this state, not protecting myself. Families are scared. Kids are afraid to go to school. Small businesses are hurting. A mother is dead, and the people responsible have yet to be held accountable.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0where the energy of the federal government should be directed: toward restoring trust,\u00a0accountability, and\u00a0real law and order, not political retaliation,” Walz added. “Minnesota will not be intimidated into\u00a0silence\u00a0and neither will I.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

WHITE HOUSE SLAMS WALZ, DEMOCRATS IN MINNESOTA FOLLOWING GOVERNOR’S ‘DIRECT APPEAL’ TO TRUMP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“When the federal gov weaponizes its power to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey wrote on X.<\/u><\/a> “We shouldn\u2019t live in a country where federal law enforcement is used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News, “It\u2019s\u00a0laughable that Tim Walz \u2014 who has smeared heroic ICE officers as \u2018Gestapo\u2019 and declared that Minnesota is at \u2018war against the federal government\u2019 \u2014 is complaining about division when\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0the one perpetrating it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Tim Walz should stop defending criminal illegal aliens and work with the Trump Administration to get these sickos out of American communities,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
