Justice Department Launches Criminal Investigation of Minnesota Governor

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The US Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The investigation was initiated after allegations that the two officials may have impeded immigration enforcement.

According to reports, the investigation was sparked by concerns about the actions of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The crackdown led to increased scrutiny of local law enforcement agencies and their handling of immigration-related issues.

The Justice Department has not released any further details about the nature of the investigation or what specific actions are being scrutinized. However, sources close to the matter have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that officials from both the governor’s office and the mayor’s office are being interviewed as part of the inquiry.

The investigation is separate from a broader review of immigration enforcement practices in Minnesota conducted by the Department of Homeland Security. The review has been led by the Trump administration, which has taken steps to increase cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities.

As the investigation continues, officials from both the governor’s office and the mayor’s office have declined to comment on the allegations or provide any information about their involvement in the matter.
