Americans are watching politicians ignore federal immigration law, criminals attack federal law enforcement, and rioters storm church services. I write to urge a change,\u201d Bondi began.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-inline-1\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postinline-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bondi continued, \u201cUnfortunately, 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, Minneapolis, and St. Paul have chosen to ignore federal immigration law by enacting sanctuary 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. And politicians in your state are not just refusing to help these agents, they are putting federal agents in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter demands immediate action to \u201cbring an end to the chaos in Minnesota\u201d and support federal efforts to remove criminal illegal aliens, stating that such cooperation \u201cwill save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bondi offered three steps Walz could take to \u201crestore the rule of law, support ICE officers, and bring an end to the chaos in Minnesota.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>First, share all of Minnesota\u2019s 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\u2019 money and ensure that Minnesota\u2019s welfare funds are being used to help those in need, not enrich fraudsters.<\/p>\n<p>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. I urge you to reach an agreement with ICE that allows them to remove illegal aliens in custody of Minnesota\u2019s prisons and jails and avoids pushing these interactions into your streets.<\/p>\n<p>Third, allow the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice to access voter rolls to confirm that Minnesota\u2019s voter registration practices comply with federal law as authorized by the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Fulfilling this common sense request will better guarantee free and fair elections and boost confidence in the rule of law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bondi said she is confident that these actions would \u201chelp bring back law and order to Minnesota and improve the lives of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AG concluded the letter by saying, \u201cThe time has come for state and local officials in your state to change course. As the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, I am committed to enforcing federal immigration laws and keeping every American safe. Minnesota can and should be a partner with this administration. Do not obstruct federal immigration enforcement; do not allow rioters to take over the streets and houses of worship; do not hinder federal officials from investigating financial fraud and violations of election laws. Whether state and local politicians stand in the way or not, we will work every day to protect Americans and make Minnesota Safe Again. I request that you join us in that effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">In a letter to MN Gov.
