Bondi offers path to end ‘chaos’ in Minnesota in letter to Walz seeking voter rolls
This affects the entire country.
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote to Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) on Saturday outlining how to “bring an end to the chaos” amid the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, including demands for access to voter rolls and an end to the state’s sanctuary city policies.
The conditions Bondi demanded on Saturday are likely nonstarters and highly unlikely to be accepted by the state’s Democratic administration. The attorney general laid out three primary demands: sharing Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and other welfare programs, a repeal of the “sanctuary policies” and cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and access to Minnesota’s voter rolls.
“Unfortunately, you and other Minnesota officials have refused to support the men and women
risking their lives to protect Americans and uphold the rule of law. Because Minnesota,

laws and policies, the federal agents led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have operated alone,” Bondi wrote, decrying incendiary comments by officials within the state, such as comparisons of federal authorities with the Nazis and Gestapo.

The immigration enforcement operation targeting Minneapolis and St. Paul was largely triggered by allegations of fraud from Somali daycares, which explains one of Bondi’s demands, the sharing of Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs.
“Allowing the federal government to efficiently investigate fraud will save Minnesota taxpayers’
money and ensure that Minnesota’s welfare funds are being used to help those in need, not enrich
fraudsters,” she wrote.
Bondi’s second demand, to end Minnesota’s sanctuary policies, likely refers to Minneapolis and St. Paul being sanctuary cities, forbidding cooperation with immigration authorities. The attorney general outlined the different cooperation measures that must be taken with ICE.
“All detention facilities in your state should cooperate fully with ICE, honor immigration detainers, and permit ICE to interview detainees in custody to determine immigration status. I urge you to reach an agreement with ICE that allows them to remove illegal aliens in custody of Minnesota’s prisons and jails and avoids pushing these interactions into your streets,” she wrote.
