The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the Democrat governor of Minnesota and mayor of Minneapolis over volatile protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city.
Both Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey are being probed over allegations of impeding federal law enforcement, CBS News reported.
A US official told the network that Walz and Frey's anti-ICE rhetoric is what spurred the investigation.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the Department of Justice, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey for comment.
The liberal leaders have been heavily critical of federal law enforcement in the wake of the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an agent last week.
Frey told ICE agents to 'get the **** out of Minneapolis' as tensions have escalated in the city.
Walz, the Democrat nominee for vice president in 2024 and currently the subject of heavy criticism over government fraud involving Somali-run daycare centers, has also slammed the president and told ICE to leave.
On Wednesday, Frey slammed ICE officials again for 'creating chaos' in his city after an agent who was 'ambushed' during an arrest shot a suspect in the leg.
The Department of Homeland Security said the suspect was an illegal migrant from Venezuela who ran away on foot Wednesday night before joining two others to attack the agent with a 'broomstick or shovel.'
The suspect was shot in the leg and remains in a stable condition in hospital. Two accomplices were also in police custody, and the agent involved was also taken to hospital after he was violently set upon by the trio.
Law enforcement officers wearing masks were using tear gas and flash bangs on protesters at the scene, just 4.5 miles north of where Good was shot, in an effort to control the crowds.

Like the judges played no part in that
“I swear this site has been taken over by 10 year olds.”
Amen. “Arrest, then investigate”. Clowns.
To arrest them you have to be ready to prove they did something illegal, because as soon as an arrest is made the clock starts ticking to lay out the charges and evidence. Being incompetent in office does not appear to be illegal in Minnesota, so what specific violations of actual law are you accusing them of?
Friendly judge will shut down any investigation.
People like you are why it is so much easier for officials to be quite and not expose fraud than to fight it.
As soon as you begin exposing the problems, your own side doesn’t do anything to support your investigation and case, they just start demanding instant gratification and begin viciously stabbing you in the back.
That is why it is easier for leadership just to leave sleeping dogs lie and not bring up corruption. A base that is kept in the dark is a content base, whereas a bade that is shown what the dogs have been up to becomes an immediate handicap to fighting the dogs.
“What are the police in Minnesota doing , sitting around drinking beer ??
No, they are leaving the department in droves and filing for extended leave because they are not supported and are kept from doing their jobs.
Instant gratification? You are kidding right?
The Left demonized Trump during 1st term, during pedo Joe’s term and now during his second term.
So, after 8 years I demand satisfaction. Waiting 8 years is not instant! I demand accountability, responsibility and action.
Nice words, intentions and plattitudes be damned.
Why would anyone want to be a cop in Minneapolis?
8 USC 1324 has Real Teeth and they are absolutely GUILTY

Do you think Waltz will receive a (GASP!!!) strongly worded letter???
When the cell door closes and Waltz takes his bunk with Bubba, let me know. Until then, it’s all red meat tossed at the Right. Kabuki theater from the Uniparty. Again.
Tiny Timmy Tulips needs to get his Sammy knuckledraggers under control and then send the SOBs home. They are not Americans and never, ever will be. NEVER!!! Give each one of them a pallet of Tampons and a dinghy with one oar and send them on their primitive merry way.
These will be tossed out. I wish they’d go with the fraud case instead.
Along with Schwartz Gyorgy, Bathhouse Barry, Xiden and the Clinton crime cartel.
What phone # did the airport call to clear 1 million bucks in a suitcase?
Let us start there.
Oooh, probed....that should get them perp walked.
Inciting a riot for starters. Some guy in SF just had a trial after 5 years in jail. The j6ers rotted in jail for two or three years without trials. So there goes that.
