Kyle Stokes
Summary
A federal judge blocked Trump administration subpoenas targeting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other state/local officials for immigration-related records. The grand jury subpoenas, issued during Operation Metro Surge, were ruled as an attempt to coerce state officials into assisting with federal civil immigration enforcement. The ruling was praised by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison noted it's "extremely rare" for judges to intervene in grand jury probes.
