BREAKING: Federal Judge Quashes Grand Jury Subpoenas Targeting Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey in DOJ\'s Immigration Enforcement Investigation
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 22, 2026 | Cristina Laila

A federal judge on Monday quashed grand jury subpoenas issued to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other Minnesota officials.

US District Judge Patrick Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee said the subpoenas were retaliatory.

The Justice Department in January issued subpoenas to Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and other far-left Minnesota officials.

The DOJ previously launched a criminal investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for interfering with ICE operations.

According to CBS News, the investigation centered around public statements made by Walz and Frey.

Thousands of federal agents were deployed to Minneapolis to arrest illegal alien criminals earlier this year.

Both Governor Walz and Mayor Frey have lashed out at the Trump Administration for dispatching ICE agents to Minnesota.

Mayor Frey demanded that residents and local police fight ICE agents in the street.

The DOJ issued subpoenas to six Minnesota officials.

"From the beginning of his current term in office, President Trump and members of his administration have taken aim at so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions-that is, jurisdictions "that limit the use of local resources to assist in federal immigration enforcement,"" the judge wrote.

Yup. And by a Shrub appointee in this case. It is rampant. The judiciary has been subverted.

They’re not even attempting to hide their corruption now. It’s right out in the open, more than ever.

The big cities will take care of aka burn themselves. That’s the Demscum base. Our job is simply to be prepared and protect our own. No direct action needed. Again they will self immolate.

All federal funding should be cut off immediately.

Of course some jackass judge will hike a leg on that as well.

Someone needs to subpoena this judge’s bank account records.

The Demscum got 30,000,000,000 votes in late counting. Pratt mysteriously got 0.

The actual numbers were 30,000 or so v 0 for Pratt. The leftscum aren’t even bothering to hide their fraud anymore. Why would they bother? They own the courts out there too.

Is that the legal justification? Then it will be overturned. That is not the standard.

Can the circuit court overturn the decision to quash the subpoena?

He’s a Bush RINO judge who flipped after Trump was elected. This isn’t the first time he’s used crackpot reasoning to rule against the Trump administration.

Judges statements sound like DNC talking points. Hardly judicial reasoning.

When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.

I think that could be adapted to fit in with today's topic somehow.

Likely overruled quickly up river
Political opinions rarely pass all the way up in federal court as judicial decisions

State courts yes they can

The leftscum aren’t even bothering to hide their fraud anymore.

It appears that the states somehow have sole responsibility for ensuring honest elections. So the Democrat Establishment in California can cheat as much as it likes until the Democrat Establishment decides to arrest the Democrat Establishment. Which seems unlikely.

Note also that Virginia (and other states) are moving to have Electoral College votes for their state determined by the popular vote total across the country. So, if 200 million Democrat votes get counted in California, that means that Virginia's votes go to the Democrat as well. Virginia voters have no say. And none of this changes until Democrats arrest Democrats. Don't hold your breath.
