Minnesota Republicans Move to Impeach Walz, AG Ellison

The Walz resolution states that the governor violated his oath of office in the way he allegedly mismanaged Minnesota’s extensive fraud scandals. It accuses Walz of “violating his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the laws of this state,” as Republicans pointed to several news reports detailing the stolen public funds and the fallout from investigations that exposed a number of state agencies to criticism.

The resolution against Ellison focuses on his handling of immigration enforcement issues and protest activity. It cites his defense of anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in St. Paul, where Ellison argued the federal FACE Act did not apply in that context.
