Federal judge quashes subpoenas against Walz, Frey in DOJ criminal investigation

A federal judge nullified six subpoenas issued by the U.S. Department of Justice against Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and other officials as part of a criminal investigation into alleged obstruction of federal immigration enforcement. The judge ruled the subpoenas were issued for 'harass, coerce and retaliate' rather than legitimate investigation, citing a lack of plausible justification.
