United StatesA federal judge in Minnesota has blocked multiple subpoenas issued by the Trump administration targeting Governor Tim Walz and other Democratic officials, citing that the requests were intended to coerce state officials into aiding federal immigration enforcement. The subpoenas were part of Operation Metro Surge and were issued during a period of heightened tension around immigration policies. The judge ruled that the subpoenas were used to 'harass political opponents' and represented an 'unlawful and unethical use of the grand jury process.' Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and several local officials had challenged the subpoenas, arguing they were politically motivated. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously demanded that Minnesota repeal its sanctuary policies and provide access to various records.
