It would seem that the DOJ, not content to investigate a grieving widow, is now seeking to investigate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for impeding ICE through, wait for it, making public statements.
In which case, Trump's DOJ wants to make publicly disagreeing with ICE a crime. Well, if President Trump thinks ICE was warranted in shooting and killing Renee Good because she was "disrespectful" can we really be surprised that they would see fit to prosecute public officials for having the temerity to criticize ICE.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche (who was once President Trump's personal attorney) telegraphed the DOJ's plan when he took to X scarcely 48 hours ago:
Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It’s disgusting. Walz and Frey - I’m focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It’s a promise.
This isn't a legal opinion; it's a wrestling promo.
Well, at least Walz and Frey have Jesse Ventura on their side.
I also suspect Walz and Frey will have the law on their side as well if past prosecutions (or perhaps persecutions) of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are any indication. When you also consider the fact DOJ is also investigating Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates on Trump's demand, their latest salvo against Walz and Frey demonstrate that Trump should just go ahead and rename the DOJ the DOR (Department of Retribution) for that is what he promised.
Because when it comes to the Trump Administration there is no justice.
