The investigation will look into whether Minnesota officials blocked federal immigration agents from carrying out their duties.
The US Department of Justice is investigating Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, for allegedly obstructing federal immigration agents during controversial raids, particularly following the fatal shooting of citizen Renee Good by an ICE officer. This inquiry comes after Minnesota filed a lawsuit against the federal government over these immigration actions, which officials describe as illegal and unconstitutional. Walz and Ellison have condemned the investigation as politically motivated, while the DOJ has requested records related to state officials’ cooperation with immigration enforcement. Tensions have escalated, with President Trump threatening to deploy military forces to Minnesota amid the ongoing conflict over immigration policies.
