Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

Responding to the grand jury subpoenas of Minnesota Democratic officials, Gov. Tim Walz said the state invited President Donald Trump "to see our values in action," calling the investigation "political theater" and a distraction.

"The State of Minnesota will not be drawn into political theater. This Justice Department investigation, sparked by calls for accountability in the face of violence, chaos, and the killing of Renee Good, does not seek justice. It is a partisan distraction," Walz said.

"Minnesotans are more concerned with safety and peace than baseless legal tactics aimed at intimidating public servants standing shoulder to shoulder with their community... Minnesota will not be intimidated into silence and neither will I," Walz wrote.

Separately, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey commented on X, saying, "When the federal gov [sic] weaponizes its power to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned."

He added, "We shouldn’t live in a country where federal law enforcement is used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with. In Minneapolis, we won't be afraid. We know the difference between right and wrong and, as Mayor, I'll continue doing the job I was elected to do: keeping our community safe and standing up for our values."

President Donald Trump called the death of Renee Good a "tragedy" saying it is a "horrible thing," speaking to reporters at a press briefing on Tuesday.

"They're going to make mistakes sometimes. ICE is going to be too rough with somebody or they're dealing with rough people. They're going to make a mistake. Sometimes, it can happen," Trump said Tuesday.

"We feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman who was, had the tragedy ... ICE would say the same thing," he said.

Trump told reporters that Good's father was "tremendous" Trump supporter.

"When I learned her parents, and her father in particular is -- I hope he still is, but, I don't know -- was a tremendous Trump fan. It was awful ... It's so sad. It just happens. It's terrible," Trump said.

Grand jury subpoenas were served Tuesday to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, and Hennepin County attorney Mary Moriarty, according to officials.

The investigation centers around whether they have been obstructing federal law enforcement activities in the state, according to officials.

"It is a subpoena for records and documents, not for me personally," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement on Tuesday. "Everything about this is highly irregular, especially the fact that this comes shortly after my office sued the Trump Administration to challenge their illegal actions within Minnesota."

Chongly Scott Thao, 56, was resting at his house in St. Paul on Sunday when federal agents forcibly entered, ordering him and his daughter-in-law to put their hands up, according to Thao's sister-in-law, Louansee Moua.

The agents pointed their guns at Thao's daughter-in-law and ignored the residents when they offered to produce an ID for Thao, according to Moua, who said Thao is a U.S. citizen of Laotian Hmong descent.

Instead, Moua said, the agents handcuffed Thao and brought him outside in the 10-degree weather, wearing only a pair of shoes, underwear and a blanket belonging to his 5-year-old grandson, who was crying inside.

They took him and drove him around for an hour before dropping him back off, Moua said.

On Monday, Homeland Security said in an online statement that agents were at the house in search of two sex offenders with removal orders from a judge. DHS claimed in their statement that Thao lived at the house with these men.

But Thao's family said this is not true. Moua told ABC News that her brother-in-law has lived there for two years with only his son, daughter-in-law and 5-year-old grandson.

When asked for clarification regarding the family's insistence that the two sex offenders being sought by the DHS agents did not live at that house, DHS sent ABC News a statement containing the names of the men the department said the agents were looking for: Lue Moua and Kongmeng Vang.

Thao's sister-in-law said the family does not know these men and that they do not live there.
