The federal government is naming its price to leave Minnesota.
Hours after Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti on camera and state investigators with a valid warrant were blocked from the crime scene, Attorney General Bondi sent her terms. DHS will withdraw if Minnesota hands over Medicaid and SNAP records, repeals sanctuary policies, and gives the DOJ access to voter rolls. The state’s Secretary of State called that ransom.
The price is getting too high. 115 House Democrats now co-sponsor impeachment articles against DHS Secretary Noem, including centrists who voted to fund her agency last week. Your representatives need to hear from you before more people are killed. Your calls give them backbone and cover to buck their own party.
