I repeatedly said Christian Castro would not escape justice in Minnesota. Today, he began facing justice here. Greg Abbott has gotten away with nothing — except turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE agent charged with shooting, wounding man during Operation Metro Surge arrested in Minneapolis
Christian Castro is due to make an initial appearance in Hennepin County court on Thursday afternoon on state charges, and in federal court in St. Paul on Friday morning on federal charges.

Good news out of D.C.: The Trump-backed Clarity Act failed in the Senate. Yesterday a coalition of 15 AGs and I came out against the bill because it would make it harder to stop cryptocurrency fraud. I’m going to keep fighting to protect Minnesotans from crypto scams. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

It’s so absurd that it’s hard to believe: a 63-year-old Michigan coal plant was set to shut down. The plant owners, the community, and defenders of the environment all agreed it should close. But on the eve of the plant’s closure, the Trump administration ordered the owners to keep it open.

I've said all along that Christian Castro would face justice in Minnesota. And now that he’s finally turned himself in in Texas, he soon will. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The fatal shooting in the Loring Park neighborhood is horrifying. My deepest thoughts are with those killed and hurt, including the police officers injured. I pray for their quick recovery. I fully support responding law enforcement and my office will help in all the ways possible.

Big news: The coalition of Attorneys General fighting the dangerous Paramount / WB merger has won a temporary restraining order, meaning that the merger is blocked for the duration of our litigation. But we aren't stopping there. We're going to keep pushing to block this costly merger permanently.

Today, I filed a lawsuit to halt the sale of Loon vapes in Minnesota. State law bans e-cigarettes designed to appeal to kids. With flavors like Cotton Candy and Mountain Dude, Loon is in clear violation of that law. I will not let corporations like Loon prey on our children.

I was proud to facilitate the mediation process that led to these agreements between the University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota Physicians, and Fairview.

The U and Fairview finally have a deal, and it drops ‘U of M’ from their biggest hospital’s name
Forthcoming name change at University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis shows tension at the heart of a more limited partnership.

The deck is stacked against young people online. Unfortunately, the KIDS Act protects Big Tech instead of our children. I will keep working with my fellow AGs to stand up to social media companies that are trying to turn a profit by harming our children.

Aimee Bock has received the sentence she deserves. I thank federal prosecutors for their years of hard work to hold fraudster-in-chief Bock and the other fraudsters accountable and congratulate them on this outcome. Justice has been done.

For years, I've been fighting to hold Big Oil accountable for deceiving consumers. They're scared, so they ran to Trump for help. Now Trump is suing MN to try to stop our lawsuit. Minnesotans deserve their day in court and we'll keep fighting for it.

Minnesota Valley threatened to shut off the power for a Minnesotan who requires life-sustaining medical equipment. This was as cruel as it was unlawful. We went to court after hours, and we won. I will not allow any business to put their profit before Minnesotans’ survival.

Nobody is above the law, including ICE agents. The State of Minnesota must hold people accountable for violating the law and for harming Minnesotans. I support the filing of these charges, and I am working closely with @hennepinatty.bsky.social Moriarty to ensure we reach a just outcome here.

My Medicaid Fraud Control Unit recently seized $1.2 million from someone we convicted of defrauding Medicaid. Now, we're going after another $650,000 in the fraudster's bank account. I will continue to aggressively prosecute Medicaid fraud and fight to recover stolen tax dollars.

Once again, Trump tried to impose more illegal tariffs that drive up costs for farmers, small businesses, and folks across Minnesota. I sued him, and once again, the court struck his tariffs down. Trump should try following the law, instead of finding new ways to break it.

Abortion is healthcare, period. I cannot let a highly politicized court from another part of the country impose restrictions on abortion care that are not supported by law or science on Minnesotans. I welcome the temporary stay the court issued and strongly urge it be extended.

Purdue and the Sackler family knew at all times how dangerous their product was, but kept fraudulently and deceptively marketing it to sell more and more opioids, addict more and more people, and make more and more money. They knew what they were doing, and they did it anyway.
