The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to multiple government officials in Minnesota, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, expanding the agency’s probe alleging that Minnesota officials conspired to impede law enforcement amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her have also been subpoenaed. NPR has not yet confirmed reports that other state and local leaders have also been issued subpoenas.

Frey’s subpoena requires him to appear in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis on Feb. 3. The mayor accused the federal government of weaponizing its power to intimidate local leaders.

“We shouldn’t have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with,” he said in a statement.

Earlier Tuesday, U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino appeared with ICE leader Marcos Charles in a news briefing criticizing Minnesota leaders and defending the work of immigration officers.

“They’re everyday people doing a very hard job, trying to enforce the immigration laws in an environment where local and state politicians have been spreading rhetoric that dehumanizes these officers and agents,” Charles said.

Protesters in Minnesota have roiled against Immigration and Customs Enforcement after one of its agents shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Macklin Good earlier this month.

“Less than two weeks ago, federal agents shot and killed a Minnesotan in broad daylight,” Ellison said in a statement. “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.”

During a White House press briefing Tuesday, President Trump discussed ICE tactics and Good’s shooting.

“They’re going to make mistakes. Sometimes ICE is going to be too rough with somebody, or, you know, they’re dealing with rough people,” Trump said. “Are they going to make a mistake sometimes? It can happen. I feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman who was, who had the tragedy. It’s a tragedy. It’s a horrible thing.”

Ellison said the DOJ is asking for records and documents related to his office’s work regarding federal immigration enforcement. He pointed out that this action comes shortly after his office sued the Trump administration over ICE’s tactics in the region.

“Let’s be clear about why this is happening: Donald Trump is coming after the people of Minnesota and I’m standing in his way,” Ellison said. “I will not be intimidated, and I will not stop working to protect Minnesotans from Trump’s campaign of retaliation and revenge.”

Independent journalist Nick Sortor criticized the legacy media on Monday, alleging chaotic “riot” conditions in Minneapolis have largely gone unreported.

“It’s been a riot since day one… they’ve been trying to cover it up,” Sortor told “Jesse Watters Primetime” guest host Charlie Hurt.

“The legacy media, in particular, they don’t want to show what’s actually going on out here. I have to do this live shot from several blocks away,” he added, pointing to police lights in the distance.

“But I can’t go over there anymore because I will be attacked, even with police lights over there. That is not a protest.”

Sortor shared a harrowing experience on social media earlier this month when anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators swarmed his vehicle, shouting at him and yelling expletives.

He said the agitators hurled frozen water bottles in his direction, smashed his windows and vandalized the vehicle with spray paint.

Sortor said his camera was also stolen and claimed that, despite the crime, he was forced to leave the area instead of the perpetrator.

“It’s crazy to me that this is the point that we’re at. We are on our own out here, and we have to take our cities back. We cannot allow no-go zones to be set up in otherwise beautiful states like this.”

Tensions have brewed in Minneapolis since the ICE-involved death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good after she appeared to accelerate her car in an agent’s direction earlier this month.

A man is in the hospital with serious injuries after a shooting in Minneapolis on Monday afternoon.

Minneapolis police say officers responded to a report of a shooting at 1500 Nicollet Avenue at 3:18 p.m.

Near the scene at West 15th Street and Nicollet Avenue, law enforcement found a man lying on the ground with a potentially life-threatening gunshot wound to the head.

An initial investigation indicates the man who was shot met with another man and a woman on the 1500 block of Nicollet Avenue before an argument escalated into gunfire, according to Minneapolis police.

The woman involved was arrested near the crime scene, Minneapolis police said, adding she was booked into Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of first-degree assault.

The other man left the scene before law enforcement arrived.
