Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty responds to quashing of federal subpoenas

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty released the following statement after a federal judge quashed United States Department of Justice subpoenas issued to Hennepin County and others during Metro Surge:

“These subpoenas were a political attack when they were issued in January and a federal judge reached a similar conclusion when quashing them, handing the federal government another in a string of legal failures.

"Hennepin County was targeted with no legal basis and our office’s Civil Division did an excellent job in defending a baseless attack in the courtroom during and after the federal occupation of our streets.”
