Minnesota Freedom Caucus Files Impeachment Articles Against Governor Walz and AG Ellison

Members of the Minnesota Freedom Caucus have filed articles of impeachment against Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, citing what they describe as a pattern of executive overreach and failures in governance. The move comes as Minnesota faces mounting federal scrutiny — including a Trump administration halt of Medicaid funds over fraud allegations, Target's $110 million exit from its Minneapolis headquarters, and a federal judge threatening criminal contempt against ICE over court order violations. While the impeachment effort faces long odds in the Democratic-controlled legislature, it signals a significant escalation of political tensions in a state that has become a national flashpoint.
