Judge quashes 6 grand jury subpoenas against Minnesota officials

A U.S. District Judge quashed six grand jury subpoenas issued by the Trump administration against Minnesota state and local officials. The court ruled that the Justice Dept. acted unlawfully, determining the subpoenas lacked legitimate investigatory justification. The judge concluded the actions were designed to harass and retaliate against Democratic officials who resisted the Trump administration regarding immigration enforcement. Consequently, the court found the use of these subpoenas to be a clear instance of government overreach.
