Lindell Breaks With Trump by Proposing Immigration Amnesty
Lindell says reports are wrong and says a temporary Minnesota license and same-day registration will let him vote for himself.
- Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell disputed claims he is not registered to vote in the state, calling media reports about his registration status 'fake news'.
- The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Friday that Lindell maintains active voter registration in Texas, though he confirmed in a Tuesday interview with TPM that he has 'places in both Texas and Minnesota'.
- Minnesota is one of 24 states with automatic voter registration, and Lindell plans to utilize the state's same-day registration allowance to cast a ballot for himself if his status remains unclear.
- Separately, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate is proposing a six-month pause in deportations to allow undocumented Minnesota residents without criminal records to apply for 'conditional work visas'.
- President Donald Trump has prioritized expanded deportations and increased cooperation with ICE, and Lindell acknowledged that Trump may oppose his proposed immigration plan.
