Minnesota has joined a multi-state legal challenge to President Donald Trump's executive order targeting birthright citizenship. Attorney General Keith Ellison confirmed the state is part of a coalition of 18 states arguing the order is unconstitutional.
Also on the podcast this morning, local refugee resettlement agencies have expressed significant concern about the potential disruption to family reunification efforts. The suspension of resettlement programs could create substantial barriers for families seeking to reunite in Minnesota.
And a scheduled trial for two Minnesota men charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots did not proceed as planned. President Trump's decision to grant clemency to these defendants, along with approximately 1,600 others, effectively halted the legal proceedings. The developments underscore ongoing legal and political tensions surrounding immigration policy and the aftermath of the Jan. 6 events.
This is a MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
