Summary
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said subpoenas were prepared for Walz and Frey as part of the inquiry, but it was not immediately clear whether they had been served.
The investigation, first reported by CBS News, stems from statements made by Walz and Frey about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks under orders from President Donald Trump, the source said.
Reacting on social media to news of the investigation, Walz, who unsuccessfully ran for the vice presidency in the 2024 election won by Trump, said the federal justice system was being weaponized to intimidate Trump's perceived political enemies.
"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic," Walz said.
The governor was referring to U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, Democrats from Michigan and Arizona, who made a video statement urging members of the military to resist illegal orders, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, whom Trump has criticized as being too hesitant to raise interest rates.
Reacting to a CNN report on the investigation, Frey said separately: "This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, local law enforcement, and residents against the chaos and danger..."

See it in four years ... maybe.
Walz probably likes getting probed. /s
I hope they wash their hands really well after probing Tampon Timmy!
He needs another vacation in China. His indoctrination is not complete.
Probes, investigations, subpoenas. Sound and fury resulting in nothing.
How do you plead, Governor Waltz?
T.A.C.O.: Trump Always Chickens Out.
“””T.A.C.O.: Trump Always Chickens Out. “””
Is that what your friends at democratic underground are saying?
For Walz and Frey this is still preferable to them being deposed about what Walz and Frey knew about Somalian fraud and about govt workers fabricating records and specifically how Frey’s wife helped 72 now-convicted scammers get millions of fraudulent taxpayer dollars through her lobbying.
Nailed it.
Oh. Wow. What an insult.
Can't stand long-time conservatives being upset at Trump, can you?
My guess?
It takes time to gather all evidence, especially with multiple sites to investigate.
And, gotta give those whistle blowers a chance to come forward and for their observations to be validated and then, further investigations based on their input.
My guesses, we'll see.
I hope the DOJ will combine the issues, as the insurrection against the fedgov is an attempt to distract from their complicity in the fraud.
IOW, I hope they get probed about it all, and that they will at least be charged under RICO if nothing else.
RE: Probes of Walz and Frey....
Pete Buttigieg would insist they wear non-latex rubber gloves to probe him. He’s allergic.
Chevy Chase to doctor behind him in the movie Fletch: “Did you used to work in a Turkish prison?”
Sternly worded memo.
I would like to see the state of Minnesota be forced to pay restitution to American taxpayers for allowing fraud. Make the pay for their corruption.
