“Two days ago, it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week, it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic,” Walz said in a post on X. “The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.”

“This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, local law enforcement, and residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our city,” Frey said in his own post. “I will not be intimidated. My focus remains where it’s always been: keeping our city safe.”

“America depends on leaders that use integrity and the rule of law as the guideposts for governance. Neither our city nor our country will succumb to this fear. We stand rock solid,” he added.

The Washington Examiner reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

Sources familiar with the matter told the Washington Post that the two are being investigated under a federal statute on conspiracy to impede a federal investigation, the same charge leveled against protesters who have tried to impede ICE operations.
