Judge Blocks Trump’s Immigration Subpoenas

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s subpoenas targeting Minnesota officials, calling them politically motivated attempts to punish states for refusing to enforce federal immigration laws. The subpoenas, issued in January following a major immigration operation in the Twin Cities, sought records from Governor Walz, the Attorney General, and mayors — but the judge found no credible criminal link and ruled the requests were designed to harass. Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison hailed the decision as a victory for democracy and warned of federal overreach. The ruling underscores growing judicial scrutiny of how federal agencies use subpoenas to pressure states — signaling that courts won’t tolerate abuse of power under the guise of law enforcement.
