The planned #subpoenas are a significant escalation between the #federal government & elected officials in #Minnesota during an increase of #immigration “enforcement” & following the #shooting #murder of #Minneapolis resident #ReneeGood by an #ICE officer.

#Federal prosecutors issued #subpoenas Tuesday to at least 5 #Democratic officials in #Minnesota, ramping up #DOJ’s “investigation” into their response to the #Trump admin’s aggressive #immigration crackdown in the state….

The subpoenas sought documents from Gov #TimWalz, Mayor #JacobFrey of #Minneapolis & Mayor #KaohlyHer of #StPaul related to their policies on immigration enforcement efforts in the state. 2 Minnesota #prosecutors, #KeithEllison, the state AG, & #MaryMoriarty, the #HennepinCounty attorney, were also sent similar subpoenas.

The #subpoenas, which were formally served on the ofcls’ offices, are a significant expansion of the “inquiry” into #Minnesota leaders…. The “investigation” was initially said to have focused on #JacobFrey & #TimWalz, who have both criticized the crackdown. But it now appears that prosecutors will also scrutinize other public officials, including Ellison & Moriarty, who could open their own inquiries into the fatal #shooting in #Minneapolis this month of #ReneeGood by an #ICE agent.

While the #subpoenas did not cite a specific criminal statute [there isn’t one that applies] that #DOJ was “investigating”, the inquiry is purportedly said to focus on whether elected officials in #Minnesota had conspired to impede the thousands of federal agents who have been in the state since last month looking for undocumented immigrants [big wink].
