FBI Director Kash Patel warns ‘no one’ is exempt from federal scrutiny after DOJ subpoenaed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding law enforcement.

FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency is carrying out President Donald Trump’s mandate to enforce the law entirely, warning that elected officials are not exempt from federal scrutiny, following the Justice Department’s grand jury subpoenas Tuesday to five Minnesota government offices.

“No one – elected official, private citizen or otherwise – gets to impede and obstruct a law enforcement investigation. No one,” he said on “Hannity.”

Patel’s remarks come after the Justice Department sent grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and multiple other state officials as part of a probe into whether they conspired to impede federal immigration enforcement operations.

The subpoenas, served by the FBI, seek records and communications tied to the alleged effort.

The investigation follows a major escalation in immigration enforcement operations across the Twin Cities ordered by the Trump administration. Roughly 3,000 federal immigration officers were deployed – a sizable force in a region where the Minneapolis Police Department has only about 600 officers.
