AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
By Jacob Knutson

January 24, 2026

Just hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
