Minnesota Senator Justin Eichorn, known for advocating against transgender rights, was arrested following allegations of soliciting a 17-year-old girl for prostitution. His arrest, captured during an undercover operation, drew significant attention due to his co-sponsorship of bills aimed at limiting transgender participation in school sports. Both Democratic and Republican leaders expressed concern and called for his resignation, highlighting the gravity of the allegations. His controversial history includes previously endorsing a bill that labeled criticism of Donald Trump as a mental illness, further complicating his political legacy.
LGBTQ+ Nation confirmed that he is a co-sponsor of S.F. 2531, a bill that would allow anyone to accuse a female athlete in school sports of being transgender.
Democrats in Minnesota described the arrest as 'deeply disturbing'. The Republican party of Minnesota also called for Eichorn to resign because of the 'seriousness' of the charges.
