Federal judge halts Trump administration effort to subpoena Walz in immigration enforcement probe

U.S. District Judge Patrick Schlitz blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to subpoena Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and additional state officials. The judge ruled that the administration's effort to obtain these subpoenas in an immigration enforcement probe was an attempt to harass and retaliate against the officials. This legal decision effectively halts the federal government's pursuit of information from the state leadership regarding their specific immigration enforcement policies and actions within Minnesota.
