Walz to Bondi after Minnesota shooting: ‘Go ahead and work on’ Epstein files
Gov. Walz challenges DOJ's claims and urges AG Bondi to prioritize releasing 2 million Jeffrey Epstein files instead of pressuring Minnesota on immigration and fraud issues.
- On Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a scathing letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz amid unrest, urging him to restore the rule of law and support ICE officers the same day Alex Pretti, 37-year-old ICU nurse, was killed during a Border Patrol operation.
- Operation Metro Surge, which sent thousands of officers, has sparked protests and legal challenges after shootings killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, raising fear and constitutional concerns.

- DOJ defenses and earlier federal actions show the Department of Justice maintains collecting voter data will strengthen election integrity, echoing a September federal lawsuit seeking voter data and a related hearing scheduled for Monday as states resist DOJ data demands.
