refusing to extradite Castro, Greg Abbott is turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals.

This case should concern officials and citizens of every state.

Christian Castro has been charged with breaking the law in Minnesota. He must face justice in Minnesota. Gov. Abbott should have granted Gov. Walz’s extradition request long ago and is required to do so now.

Today, I charged two individuals with more than $1.5 million in Medicaid fraud.

Medicaid dollars are meant to provide healthcare to low-income Minnesotans — not line the pockets of fraudsters.

Christian Castro is not above the law, and Greg Abbott isn’t either.

If you try to cheat Minnesotans, we will find you, and we will hold you accountable.

There are plenty of worthy debates to have about AI policy. This is not one of them.

And Minnesota has every right to keep predatory gambling out of our communities.

my office will continue to "litigate this case and defend the State's duly passed law."

Corporations should be competing against one another for your business, not colluding with one another to keep prices high.

Given the severity of this ongoing unconstitutional deprivation of liberty, the Court concludes that immediate release from custody is required.

The facts are clear: the Trump administration is targeting me because I’m standing up for the people of Minnesota.

It should disturb every American that Donald Trump is weaponizing the criminal justice system against people he disagrees with.

So, I’m done talking to you. Bye-bye.

a political stunt from an administration that uses the machinery of government to target its perceived opponents while extending leniency to those aligned with its interests

That is a false number.

If you ask the newspapers for a forensic accounting, the number you mentioned is tightly identified with people of a very unique political persuasion aligned with the Trump administration.

It's wrong though. And if you're a real reporter, you should know that.

The fact is, is that fraud is always wrong.

The allegations in the House Republican report are unfounded, and Vice President Vance's referral is a political stunt from an administration that uses the machinery of government to target its perceived opponents while extending leniency…

It is deeply troubling to see official powers and public resources diverted away from serving the people and instead aimed at pursuing political adversaries.

That is not what government is for, and it diminishes public trust in our institutions.

In Minnesota, we believe in equal justice under the law. That means nobody is above the law, including agents of the federal government.
