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.

The judge is probably ok with tampons in boys bathrooms in elementary schools


Definitely, as he holds the local contract to supply them ...

I voted for and supported W, but these days I have no trouble believing that he is actively working against Trump behind the scenes. When all is said and done, a lot of old guard Republicans are elitists first, not America first.

Yes, a circuit court can overturn a lower court decision to quash a subpoena. When a lower court grants a motion to quash, the party that issued the subpoena may appeal the ruling to a higher court, arguing that the judge made a legal error.

In this scenario, the appellate court reviews the decision and has the authority to reverse the quashing, thereby reinstating the subpoena’s legal authority. This process allows for immediate appellate review of interlocutory orders, ensuring that procedural mistakes regarding evidence production or witness testimony are corrected before the case concludes.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

Any judge should not take the product of a Grand Jury so cavalierly. That’s a foundational aspect of our legal system... much more so than a federal judge of an inferior court.

This judge should know he’s going to get overturned. This is really just to raise his cred among his fellow liberals so he still gets invited to all the cool gatherings............
