State attorney calls Bondi's demands for Minnesota 'a ransom note'
An attorney representing the state of Minnesota kicked off the court hearing on Monday on the state's request to end Operation Metro Surge by describing demands Attorney General Pam Bondi presented to Gov. Tim Waltz as "a ransom note."
The attorney, Lindsey Middlecamp, said Bondi’s letter over the weekend asking Gov. Tim Walz to cooperate with federal agents and requesting information about the state's voter rolls and records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs "can only be described as a ransom note."
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez pressed an attorney representing Minnesota on the state's request to end Operation Metro Surge, noting that "the federal government has a lot of power."
“You understand the federal government has a lot of power in this area, so I'm trying to figure out what principle you're asking me to apply that will sort out legal federal law enforcement from this 10th Amendment argument," Menendez said.
