Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are among a group of state officials who say they are under investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), a week after they sued the federal government over its controversial immigration raids.
The DOJ probe will review whether Minnesota state officials conspired to obstruct justice by preventing federal immigration officers from carrying out their duties, US broadcaster CBS News reported late on Tuesday.
