A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear anything crazy in the news today?

B: Ohayo, Kenji! No, what's up? Something big?

A: Yeah, it’s about Minnesota! Remember that woman who died during an immigration raid?

B: Oh, right! That was awful. What’s new?

A: Well, now the US Justice Department is investigating the governor and the mayor of Minneapolis.

B: Seriously? Why? What are they doing?

A: Apparently, they’re looking into if the governor and mayor were stopping the federal government from doing their immigration work. Like, making it difficult for them.

B: Wow! That’s a big deal. Subpoenas? What's that?

A: It means they’ll have to give documents and answer questions! The Washington Post said so. They suspect the two of them were working together to block the federal guys.

B: So, they’re kind of fighting back against Trump? I remember he was talking about using the military…

A: Exactly! The governor, Tim Walz, he's even a VP candidate for the Democrats. He posted something online, saying it's like something an authoritarian leader would do!

B: Crazy, right? It sounds really tense. Poor Minnesota!
