Minneapolis Mayor Frey Defends Against DOJ Investigation
Mayor Frey vows to comply as DOJ investigates his actions.
On Jan 18, 2026, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced a new Department of Justice probe alleging they obstructed federal law‑enforcement operations. The inquiry follows the fatal ICE shooting of 31‑year‑old Renee Good on Jan 7, 2026, which sparked protests in Minneapolis and drew criticism nationwide. Officials say the DOJ is investigating how the officials may have impeded federal agents, with some reports claiming a lack of subpoenas has been issued to the mayor’s office. Frey stated he and Walz have done nothing wrong and will comply with the investigation. Over 3,000 ICE agents were deployed to Minnesota, fueling tensions and prompting city officials to call for their withdrawal.
