The Justice Department has quietly opened a criminal probe into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, reportedly examining whether their public statements and actions impeded federal immigration enforcement. This is not rumor or hyperbole—multiple outlets are reporting the inquiry as a formal DOJ investigation into potential criminal conduct by two elected officials.
Federal prosecutors have even signaled they may issue subpoenas as part of the inquiry, and officials say the focus is on a conspiracy statute that makes it a crime to conspire to prevent federal officers from carrying out their duties. If true, this is about more than political grandstanding; it is about whether state and local leaders crossed the line into coordinating obstruction of law enforcement.
The probe unfolds against the backdrop of Operation Metro Surge, a sweeping Homeland Security enforcement effort in Minneapolis and St. Paul that has resulted in thousands of arrests and intensified clashes after the fatal shooting of Renée Good. The stakes are high on the ground, where federal officers and local authorities have been trading accusations while residents and peaceful observers are caught in the middle.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warned that rhetoric encouraging interference with ICE and other federal officers can verge on criminal behavior, a point that should give pause to any politician who publicly urges citizens to block or impede law enforcement. Conservative Americans respect peaceful protest, but we also understand that telling people to obstruct agents doing their jobs is a dangerous, irresponsible game that puts officers and the public at risk.
Governor Walz has predictably cried “weaponization” and painted himself as a victim of partisan targeting, even as his office insists it has not been formally notified. That dodge won’t wash with taxpayers who expect their leaders to uphold the rule of law instead of undermining it for political theater.
Make no mistake: there is nothing off-limits about holding public officials to account when their words or actions threaten public safety. If subpoenas are necessary to get to the facts, they should be issued without fear or favor, because allowing elected leaders to incite obstruction would set a terrifying precedent for lawlessness and double standards.
Patriots should stand squarely with law enforcement and demand a full, transparent investigation that follows the evidence wherever it leads. Our system depends on equal accountability under the law—no mayor, no governor, and no political party should be allowed to place themselves above that sacred principle.
