"This Is Blackmail": Critics Slam Pam Bondi's Demand for Minnesota Voter Rolls
"Bondi wrote that Walz must allow the Department of Justice (DOJ) to access voter rolls to "confirm that Minnesota's voter registration practices comply with federal law.""
""Fulfilling this commonsense request will better guarantee free and fair elections and boost confidence in the rule of law," she wrote."
"Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying hand over the voter rolls, or ICE won't back off. That's a shakedown. They're using fear to get their hands on voter information. In America, you don't get to strong-arm your way into our elections. pic.twitter.com/IbJc3ufl9k- Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) January 25, 2026"
Border Patrol agents fatally shot protester Alex Pretti, the second such shooting in the city in less than three weeks. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Governor Tim Walz urging him to "restore the rule of law," demanding access to voter rolls and records on Medicaid and food aid programs, and asking that sanctuary policies be repealed. Bondi framed DOJ access to voter rolls as a way to confirm compliance with federal law and boost confidence in elections. Representative Ruben Gallego called the demand a shakedown and accused the DOJ of using fear to obtain voter information, and the request has prompted legal challenges.
