Kash Patel warns elected officials are not exempt as DOJ subpoenas Walz, Frey | Fox News<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

FBI Director<\/a>\u00a0Kash Patel<\/a>\u00a0said his agency is carrying out President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

“No one \u2013 elected official, private citizen or otherwise \u2013 gets to impede and obstruct a law enforcement investigation. No one,” he said on “Hannity.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Patel’s remarks come after the\u00a0Justice Department sent grand jury subpoenas<\/a>\u00a0to Minnesota Gov.\u00a0Tim Walz<\/a>, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and multiple other state officials as part of a probe into whether they conspired to impede federal\u00a0immigration enforcement operations<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The subpoenas, served by the FBI, seek records and communications tied to the alleged effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u2013 a sizable force in a region where the Minneapolis Police Department has only about 600 officers.<\/span><\/p>\n
