"He said local officials could be helping ICE identify and arrest violent criminals so that the operation could be more targeted. The US justice department issued subpoenas to a handful of state and local elected officials this week, including Walz and Jacob Frey, Minneapolis's mayor, as part of an investigation into whether local officials were supposedly conspiring to impede federal immigration enforcement in the state."
"After the subpoenas, Walz said the state would not be drawn into political theater. My focus has always been protecting the people of this state. Families are scared. Kids are afraid to go to school. Small businesses are hurting. A mother is dead, and the people responsible have yet to be held accountable, Walz said on Tuesday. That's where the energy of the federal government should be directed: toward restoring trust, accountability, and real law and order, not political retaliation."
Federal immigration agents detained a five-year-old child with his father and used gas on protesters in Minneapolis, increasing local tensions. JD Vance urged local officials to lower the temperature while enabling ICE to focus on violent criminals. Vance said he had spoken with immigration agents and business leaders but not Governor Tim Walz. The US justice department issued subpoenas to several state and local officials, including Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, over alleged obstruction of federal immigration enforcement. Walz emphasized protecting residents, noted community fear and business harm, and called for federal focus on restoring trust, accountability, and law and order rather than retaliation.
