The Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury to provide voter records as part of an investigation into whether non-citizens are registered or have voted unlawfully. This investigation, led by the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security, is part of a broader conflict between states and the federal government over voter roll reviews. Federal authorities are seeking information on over 125 individuals, but no criminal charges have been filed yet. This criminal probe is separate from a civil lawsuit by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which is pushing for Minnesota to release a full voter registration list. The investigation follows a directive from President Trump in March 2025 to examine non-citizen voter registrations, amid his unproven claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. Minnesota has recorded 138 voter fraud cases from 2004 to 2025, according to the Heritage Foundation.
