The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.

Subpoenas are likely to be issued in the probe, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

“We’re in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street,” Frey said. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”

Why are the democrat socialists fighting the Federal Government?

‘ Why are the democrat socialists fighting the Federal Government?’

And vice versa.

States rights? Federal government overreach?

Not a problem when the political party we vote for does the things we generally complain or fight against?

So weird.

Like I said, Walz is delusional. He’s round the bend….
He wanted to be president.
Now he sees himself as President Walz.
He’s the President of the country of Minnesota and Trump has NO power there…….ONLY Walz has power.
Throw Walz in the LOONEY BIN before he impodes MN or causes a mass casualty event via his brainwashed demonstrators.

Who did the airport call to pass a million cash dollars in a suitcase every week?

Case closed.

I thought Bari Weiss was supposed to put a stop to this type of biased one-sided reporting.

Did you see the video of that press conference in the reaction of the police chief in the background? He had a look on his face like wait, what did the mayor just say the residence want us to do? He loved to completely blindsided by it, to me. If I was in his shoes, my resignation would’ve been on the mayor’s desk by the end of the day, effective immediately.

I agree, waltz is absolutely delusional and his comments seem to swaying back-and-forth every day or so. I don’t think he has any idea what to do in this situation. However, I’m fairly confident the idiotic mayor is even farther out of his league

Walz is flipping around like a fish on a bank. He doesn’t know what he’s going to do.

Put extreme pressure on him and he’ll crack first, then the punk mayor will follow like a domino.
