The Minnesota National Guard has been mobilized, but not deployed. Tensions continued early on Thursday in Minneapolis, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer. The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer. That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her -- a claim that local officials have disputed. Following news of the federal investigation being opened into Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a brief statement on social media: "A reminder to all those in Minnesota: No one is above the law." Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison reacted to the federal investigation into Minnesota's and Minneapolis' leaders during an interview on ABC News Live Prime, calling it "more political motivation and bullying from the White House." "This seems to be nothing more than politics from the Trump administration," Ellison said. "But it bothers me deeply because I think that we have to enforce the law, but when powerful leaders use it and weaponize it against people who are just doing their jobs as their voters elected them to do, that's a very sad day in America." Ellison said he immediately thought of the federal investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, "two politically motivated prosecutions that collapsed." Minnesota Governor Tim Walz speaks to reporters after he announced that he would not seek reelection, at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, Minn. Jan. 5, 2026. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaks during a press conference, following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, in Minneapolis, Jan. 9, 2026. A federal investigation has been opened into Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz into whether they have been obstructing federal law enforcement activities in the state, according to multiple U.S. officials. In response, Walz said, "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic." A group of House Democrats and Minnesota's two Democratic senators, Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, pushed back on the Trump administration's deployment of ICE and actions in the state during a "shadow hearing" and subsequent news conference held in Minneapolis on Friday. "ICE needs to get off our streets. They are causing confusion, chaos and fear," Klobuchar said during the hearing. Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has come under consistent attack from President Trump, said the administration is "operating outside the bounds of law." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, middle, speaks during a field hearing on immigration, Jan. 16, 2026, in St. Paul, Minn. Abbie Parr/AP Mayor Jacob Frey was among the witnesses who testified during the shadow hearing. "This is not about immigration. This is about sewing chaos on the streets of Minnesota," Frey said. "We in Minneapolis are suffering the brunt of it right now." The mayor added that as soon as federal agents leave, "we will have peace, we will have safety and order will be restored."
