DOJ Probes Walz, Frey for Impeding ICE

“When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he’s encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi posted, “A reminder to all those in Minnesota: No one is above the law.”

Walz accused the Trump administration of “weaponizing” the Justice Department in response to the reports.

“Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic,” the governor wrote on X.

“The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her,” he added, referring to last week’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

Frey described the reports of an investigation as “an obvious attempt to intimidate.”

“I will not be intimidated. My focus remains where it’s always been: keeping our city safe,” the mayor wrote on X.

“America depends on leaders that use integrity and the rule of law as the guideposts for governance. Neither our city nor our country will succumb to this fear. We stand rock solid,” Frey added.
