USA: Investigation into Minnesota officials

The U.S. federal Department of Justice is conducting an investigation into officials in Minnesota, including Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

The investigation concerns a possible conspiracy to obstruct operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Statements made by Walz and Frey regarding the deployment of thousands of ICE and border patrol agents in Minneapolis and its suburbs are at the center of the investigation.

The Donald Trump administration had sent approximately 3,000 federal agents to Minnesota. *ΚΩΣ/ΠΓ*
