Keith Ellison: “Christian Castro is not above the law, and Greg Abbott isn’t either.”

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.

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

I also think it’s important for us to continue to communicate with the public and give people hope that we can protect and defend and extend our democracy.

We are a whisper away from Jim Crow.
