Walz files for information on Trump 'retribution campaign'
Walz filed 16 Freedom of Information Act requests to trace what his office calls a campaign of retribution against Minnesota.
- On Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz filed 16 FOIA requests with federal agencies, seeking records he described as revealing a 'campaign of retribution' by the Trump Administration against Minnesota.
- Walz claims Minnesota has faced more than 100 federal demands, investigations, and threats to 'illegally' withhold funding since Jan 20, 2025, prompting his office to investigate federal agency coordination.
- The requests target communications referencing 'reckoning,' 'retribution,' 'punish,' and 'Democrat,' submitted to 16 agencies including the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Education.
- These filings follow District Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz's ruling quashing federal subpoenas against state officials as 'unconstitutional,' stating the government aimed to 'harass and retaliate' against Minnesota.
- Describing the decision as a win for the 'rule of law,' Walz argued the subpoenas represent daily reminders of broader 'lawlessness' occurring in Minnesota and across the country.
