The FBI has served Minnesota officials including Gov. Tim Walz, attorney general Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey with grand jury subpoenas for allegedly conspiring to hinder ICE operations in the state, according to FOX reports.
The subpoenas are requesting “records and communications” from the officials, according to FOX News, as anti-ICE protests roil the Twin Cities nearly two weeks after Renee Good was shot by an agent after she clipped him with her SUV.
Frey, Ellison and Walz have been vocal critics of illegal immigration enforcement efforts in the state, and have loudly — and sometimes profanely — demanded ICE leave the state.
Walz’s office confirmed to FOX 9 that a subpoena was delivered.
The subpoenas are reportedly part of a federal investigation into “an alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement operations during the Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.”
The operation, the largest in the history of the state, according to DHS, so far includes roughly 3,000 agents spanning multiple immigration agencies including ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
