"First, share all of Minnesota's records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program data, with the federal government. 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. Second, repeal the sanctuary policies that have led to so much crime and violence in your state."
"Removing criminal illegal aliens from Minnesota neighborhoods will save lives, and state and local officials should support this goal. 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. 1 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."
Pam Bondi sets three conditions for Minnesota: provide federal access to Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service records including SNAP data; repeal sanctuary policies and require state detention facilities to cooperate fully with ICE, honor detainers, permit ICE interviews, and allow removal of undocumented detainees from custody; and allow the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to access voter rolls to verify compliance with federal law under the Civil Rights Act of 1960. The measures are presented as steps to prevent fraud, reduce crime, ensure public safety, and guarantee free and fair elections.
