Minnesota Democrats criticize DOJ subpoenas, claim weaponization of justice system

Minnesota Democrats who were served grand jury subpoenas as part of a federal investigation into an alleged conspiracy to obstruct or impede federal law enforcement during ongoing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are now speaking out, saying the justice system is being weaponized against them. 

The criticism comes after the Justice Department and the FBI served the subpoenas Tuesday to six offices, including the Governor’s Office, the Attorney General’s Office and the Minneapolis Mayor’s Office.
