DOJ Serves Subpoenas to Walz, Ellison, Frey, and More for Obstructing Federal Immigration Law

Minnesota citizens have long known that the state is run by corrupt politicians who work against the will of the People. MN has become a national embarrassment due to MASSIVE Somali fraud and far-left Democrats obstructing the deportation of illegal criminal thugs. While most Republicans would have cowered at this point in the battle out of weakness, President Trump’s Dept. of Justice has issued grand jury subpoenas for Gov. Tim Walz, AG Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, self-described illegal immigrant St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, and one other person not yet named in the media.
The grand jury indictments are part of a federal investigation related to these individuals using their office for conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement during the DHS’s Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.
Just looking at the words of Walz, Ellison, Frey, and Her alone shows their radical public rhetoric and policies. Walz compared I.C.E. agents to Nazis, Ellison called I.C.E. removing criminal illegal aliens from MN streets an “invasion” and is compiling complaints to use against I.C.E. agents, Frey compared a car ramming an I.C.E. agent to closing a refrigerator door with your hip, and Her insanely claiming I.C.E. agents are going door to door asking “where the Asian people live”.
The Democrats are appealing to their unhinged, far-left base causing chaos in the streets while I.C.E. conducts deportation operations. It is also clear that the named individuals are using the power of their office to oppose federal law and federal law enforcement.
This is not a state and localities protecting the Constitutional Rights of the citizens of their state from federal overreach. This is a state and localities protecting criminal illegal aliens over American citizens. America cannot be a free nation with an open border and mass welfare for the illegals.
Instead of realizing what kind of trouble these politicians have caused for themselves, they appear to be doubling down on their nonsense! The very same people who thought you belonged in prison for going to church/holding a gathering during Covid also think millions of criminal illegal aliens deserve some slack. Tyrant Democrats’ pearl-clutching for the liberty of illegal aliens is just a tool to be used to the detriment of the average American. Ellison is even taking Don Lemon's side about when Lemon and other liberal lunatics took over a church service to scream obscenities and to intimidate the pastor and congregation.
As seen in the grand jury subpoena published by Fox 9, Jacob Frey has been ordered to testify on February 3rd, 2026. The subpoena demands documentation, communications, policies, directives, guides, instructions, and other records since January 1st, 2025 related to the Minneapolis Mayor Office’s lack of compliance with federal immigration law. President Trump’s appointed Minnesota U.S. Attorney, Daniel Rosen, filed the subpoena.
Minnesota conservatives have long been waiting for corrupt Democrat politicians to be held responsible for their illegal actions and this appears to be the first step in that process. Patriots will be demanding that this action has follow-through to avoid another all-talk, no-action predicament. The actions of rogue Democrats like Walz, Ellison, Frey, and Her are facing some initial consequences, though many conservatives hope to see Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna’s criminal referrals for Walz and Ellison come to fruition.
Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, pro-truth, liberty based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. The Trump Administration understands that they were elected (by a majority of voters + a landslide in the Electoral College) to close the border and deport the millions of illegal aliens Joe Biden (and others) let in the country. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
Woke Leftist Becker HS Teacher Schooled by Student on I.C.E.; Calls for Teacher’s Firing Increases

Minnesota public schools have become leftist indoctrination camps due to far-left teachers pushing their political opinions onto students. Teachers are able to get away with it because union bosses protect them. Democrats and RINOs have become co-opted by the unions and are allowing public school teachers to push their woke political ideology. Only strong-willed, free-thinking students ever have the guts to stand up to authority and a perfect example of that was caught on video in a Becker High School classroom.
Teacher Heather Abrahamson was arguing with a student about the recent shooting concerning when Renee Good drove her car into an I.C.E. agent. He moved out of the way, the car still hit him, and he shot Good for her unhinged actions. The student in the video makes the logical, common-sense argument that the officer had to react in a split-second and could not consider all options.
Abrahamson was boiling angry and couldn’t tolerate a young man thinking for himself. Rather than calmly discussing the issue, Abrahamson started insulting the student’s intelligence! How much more immature could a teacher be? She told him that “just because you’re alive doesn’t mean you’re intelligent”. See video below:
BREAKING: Teacher at Becker High School (@BeckerSchools) in MN, caught ARGUING with a student over the shooting of Renee Good, falsely claiming that the ICE officer "was not in danger" while telling the student "just because you're alive doesn't mean you're intelligent."

First of all, teachers should not be discussing modern politics with students. It introduces too many instances of subjectivity. Biases always creep into supposedly objective teachings and it is not necessary for teachers to express their opinions of I.C.E. and President Trump’s deportation operation. History classes are meant for history, math classes are meant for math, and science classes are meant for science. They are not meant to be propaganda tools for whacked out leftists.
Emotional messes like Heather Abrahamson are counter-productive to successful learning. A grown adult resorting to personal insults with a teenager proves how broken the left’s mind is. They cannot handle pushback to their insane beliefs and if you don’t agree with everything they say, you are either a Nazi, Fascist, transphobe, Islamaphobe, or stupid. Their argumentation style proves who really is lacking intelligence.
Heather Abrahamson is a known far-left teacher in the district. As seen in reporting from the Gateway Pundit, Abrahamson has instructed fellow teachers to flood social media with activist messaging to pressure officials to allow her and others to push their political beliefs in public schools. She even wrote her PhD dissertation paper using a woke LGBTQ+ subject! See below:


Keep in mind, this is happening in conservative, deep red areas! Becker and neighboring cities’/towns’ citizens do not support the Democrat’s far-left, woke ideology. This is not just a Minneapolis and St. Paul problem, this is a Minnesota problem.
Sources tell A4L that the parents of students attending Becker High School are LIVID and are demanding Heather Abrahamson’s immediate firing.
Props to the student who recorded lunatic Heather Abrahamson’s unhinged reaction to expose how insane she is and double props to the student who stood up to his bully teacher and showed other students that you don’t have to be pushed around by these liberal lunatics! The student spoke common-sense and triggered liberals hate that!
A4L will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, liberty-based, anti-establishment reporting that they cannot get anywhere else. A4L will continue to be the voice of the conservative grassroots in MN and will pull no punches. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
Pro-Abortion, Anti-Trump Michele Tafoya Files for U.S. Senate; MNGOP Gives Her Anti-Grassroots Boost

While many Minnesotans are focused on the Governor race since Tim Walz was forced to drop out of the race due to national exposure of his corruption, the U.S. Senate race also has a corrupt incumbent Democrat not seeking reelection! U.S. Senator Tina Smith is on her way out the door and the GOP can win if they can inspire the over 1.5M MAGA voters in MN to vote again in 2026. Instead, pro-abortion and anti-Trump RINO Michele Tafoya is set to enter the U.S. Senate race.
On January 20th, Michele Tafoya filed for the race as seen in FEC filings. Tafoya is best known for her role as a NFL sideline reporter for NBC. With some bit of a celebrity factor, Tafoya walks into the race with more name-ID than an average candidate. While some Republicans will believe she presents an electable path forward, they fail to factor in Tafoya’s ultra-liberal, pro-abortion, and anti-Trump political record.
Michele Tafoya has let it be well-known that she is pro-abortion. She even cut a commercial with fake pro-life group MCCL pushing the dishonest talking point that abortion, up to the moment of birth, is a Constitutional Right in Minnesota that no Governor can do anything about. That means she is falsely claiming NOTHING can be done to stop taxpayer-funded abortion, late term abortion, or even post-birth abortion! On Third Trimester Tafoya’s YouTube show, Tafoya says “On social issues, I’m a little more moderate, maybe even slightly to the left. I believe in a woman’s right to choose. Sorry, I do.” As seen in Section 2 of the MNGOP platform, Tafoya completely misses the mark of what grassroots conservatives believe on this issue.
In 2022, Michele Tafoya was the campaign co-chair for RINO Kendall Qualls' failed Governor campaign. Tafoya was widely rumored to be Qualls' running mate because he refused to announce who the Lt. Gov. would be on the ticket, even going into deep rounds of voting at the 2022 State Convention. Qualls likely feared that if he announced at the convention that his running mate would be a pro-abortion and anti-Trump person like Tafoya, he would've ensured quicker defeat.
Tafoya’s abortion position is not the only issue where she is wildly different from the conservative grassroots of Minnesota: She is also a Trump hater! Tafoya wrote an open letter to President Trump on her Substack in 2022 demanding he not run in 2024 and implies he does not love America by saying if he genuinely loves America, he wouldn’t run! Tafoya further argued that Trump is chaos and insinuates he is insane by saying “... people I know who voted for Trump just don’t want to see him back now, they want something a little closer to normal. I think people want sanity”. Tafoya also seems to think Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election when she said "some of the Trump-backed candidates really struggled, and some of that had to do with the election-denialism".
How can Michele Tafoya inspire non-traditional voters, who only showed up to the polls to vote for President Trump, to vote again in 2026 with her past comments? Many conservatives will feel back-stabbed because RINOs are prioritizing a false sense of electability over core Republican principles. President Trump won more votes in 2024 in MN than any previous GOP nominee in American history and the MNGOP has no chance of winning without the MAGA base. However, instead of working as a neutral body, the MNGOP is putting their thumbs on the scale and propping up Michele Tafoya! The incompetent MNGOP couldn't even spell her first name correctly! See below:

Despite being blocked from doing such actions by the Article IV, Section 8 of the MNGOP Bylaws, this is not the first time MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash has given favor to a candidate publicly before the party has made an endorsement. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Plechash was slammed by 2024 U.S. Senate nominee Royce White for issuing a unilateral endorsement for RINO Congresswoman Michele Fischbach while she faces major conservative backlash in her district. Plechash has shown that he is more interested in sucking up to the Establishment than he is at representing the grassroots, or at the very least, conducting himself fairly. If he wants to prove A4L wrong, he should stop promoting certain candidates over others.
It must be remembered, it was even worse before Plechash when corrupt David Hann was MNGOP Chair! Hann is also running for U.S. Senate but has been shunned by many Republicans after A4L exposed that Hann used about $30K in party funds to secretly pay a Kamala/Walz supporter. Ironically, Hann attacked Tafoya’s pro-abortion and anti-Trump record in a statement despite Hann being just as liberal as she is on those issues! Hann is the one who sent a letter to GOP candidates demanding they say abortion, up to the moment of birth, is a Constitutional Right! In 2017 and 2021 Hann said the GOP is not the party of Trump, in 2017 he called Trump “vulgar, rude, and obnoxious”, said in 2021 that he is “not a Trump guy”, and did not want President Trump to visit MN in 2022 to help Republicans win! Hann's attacks on Tafoya is the pot calling the kettle black!
Hann is likely positioned in fourth place as the race currently stands. Firebrand conservative Royce White and Marine veteran Adam Schwarze have emerged as the top two candidates thus far, though Tafoya's candidate filing throws a wrench into the race. With the Establishment like NRSC Chair Sen. Tim Scott and morons like State Rep. Mary Franson are supporting Tafoya, she can clearly appeal to the Uniparty and its lackeys. White slammed Tafoya’s entry into the race and challenged her to debate him, starting with an immediate debate tonight (1/21/26, the date the post was written). Patriots can look to future A4L reporting to provide a breakdown of all 10 GOP candidates running for U.S. Senate.
Third Trimester Tafoya likely brings money and attention but her leftist political history will make her a tough sell to conservative GOP delegates and voters. It is not clear if she will abide by the party’s endorsement, which makes it even more egregious that the MNGOP would prop her up on social media pre-endorsing convention.
Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hardcore, liberty-based, anti-establishment reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. The Establishment’s embracing of Michele Tafoya may result in unintended consequences because conservatives continue to figure out in bigger and bigger numbers that the corrupt RINOs running the party cannot be trusted. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
ALERT: RINOs in SD10 & MNGOP State Exec. Lie to Avoid Endorsing Convention for Sen. Wesenberg

The party structure exists to serve various purposes and one of the chief purposes is to hold endorsing conventions and to support the winner of said conventions. Most BPOUs (Basic Political Operating Units) find no issue in doing so but scheduling endorsing conventions can become more complicated when districts cover multiple BPOUs. In the case of Senate District 10, it has become a nightmare because Senator Nathan Wesenberg is despised by RINOs despite being well-liked by his district.
Wesenberg has no known opponent for the Senate seat’s GOP endorsement yet RINOs are working behind the scenes to not hold a convention at all! SD10 covers seven different BPOUs and the MNGOP Constitution requires that they all agree to a time and place for their endorsing convention. In the case of SD10, six of the seven BPOUs were in agreement to hold the endorsing convention on Saturday, February 21st at Pierz High School.
The Feb. 21st date does not conflict with any of the BPOU’s schedules and is not on the same day as their regular county/BPOU conventions to elect CD and statewide delegates. The only hold-out on this date is the RINO-controlled Aitkin County, which is chaired by Dale Lueck-puppet Jennifer Cummings. Lueck is former RINO state Representative with a pathetic lifetime score of 51% in A4L Scorecards (meaning he would vote for big, bloated government about half of the time on critical votes). Jennifer Cummings reportedly previously plead guilty to (and was sentenced for) drug possession after she bought methamphetamine (meth) from an undercover police officer.
Instead of cooperating with the other six BPOU Chairs, Lueck and Cummings have used their personal animosity against Sen. Wesenberg to try to block an endorsing convention from happening at all! For months they refused to hammer down a date and time while the other six operated in good faith discussions. In an email obtained by A4L, Lueck LIES to another BPOU Chair in the district by falsely claiming that Aitkin County would be holding their convention on Ash Wednesday at 9AM. Sources tell A4L that this is not the first time Lueck has given false dates. See email below:

When BPOU Chairs cannot agree to a date for the endorsing convention, the MNGOP Constitution requires the MNGOP State Executive Committee to call the convention since SD10 covers areas in multiple U.S. Congressional districts. According to sources, this issue was brought to the State Exec. Comte. and the party failed to call for a convention at their last meeting. Sources tell A4L that the voice vote to call the convention was held and was close but Chair Alex Plechash ruled that the opposition to the motion won out.
The RINOs on the State Exec. Comte. are BLOCKING Sen. Nathan Wesenberg’s endorsement despite him not having an opponent! The MNGOP is failing to live up to the obligations of their own party constitution! Sources tell A4L that the most deceitful of the State Exec. Comte. who worked to mislead locals was self-described “Never Trump” CD8 Exec. Rep. Andy Aplikowski. Sources tell A4L that Aplikowski lied by arguing that Aitkin County was operating in good faith and were proposing the convention be held on March 14th. Additionally, we are told crazed feminist MNGOP Secretary Joy Orvis and several others have been doing the Establishment's bidding.
Local sources tell A4L that the March 14th date was NEVER proposed to the six other BPOU Chairs and was selected by RINOs Lueck and Cummings because it was the most objectionable date! Locals say further that several BPOU Chairs communicated to all seven chairs how they and others would not be available on that day. Instead of choosing the best possible day, they chose the worst day! Now, the grassroots may call Aitkin County’s bluff and accept the convention date.
It is clear that RINOs will use whatever tactics they wish in order to see their ends be met. There is zero reason to block the grassroots from making local endorsements. The Establishment’s dirty tricks in SD10 are nothing new. In 2022 leading up to the SD10 endorsing convention RINOs like then-Morrison County Chair Mandy Heffron deleted duly elected delegates and replaced them with Establishment names, wouldn’t allow the grassroots to replace the corrupt David Hann-appointed Chair for the Morrison County convention, and didn’t even count a single vote at the SD10 endorsing convention because it was clear on the ground that several RINO candidates were going to lose!
The ongoing battle in SD10 are similar throughout the state, the RINOs can feel their power slipping away because the grassroots is more informed than ever. The MNGOP State Executive Committee is FAILING to live up to their Constitutional duties and must IMMEDIATELY hold a special meeting to hold the SD10 Endorsing Convention on Feb. 21st (or another date agreed upon by the six relevant BPOU Chairs operating in good faith discussions). While a few members of the State Executive Committee are trying to do the right thing, the majority is stabbing conservatives in the back!
This sits at Alex Plechash’s and Donna Bergstrom’s feet! They must resolve it immediately or will be responsible for another MNGOP Civil War.
Action 4 Liberty will remain on the forefront of exposing political corruption in Minnesota. Due to unwavering principles, A4L remains the trusted, anti-establishment, pro-freedom group that gives a megaphone to the grassroots. We will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that they cannot find anywhere else.
Swing District Far-Left Brad Tabke Doxxes I.C.E. Agents’ Locations

I.C.E. agents’ jobs are more than difficult and dangerous enough as is but far-left Democrats are doing all they can to make things even more high-risk. While one would think that stalking, tracking, and publicly doxxing law enforcement would be criminal, far-left Democrat state Rep. Brad Tabke (54A) is doing so anyway.
Brad Tabke is posting constantly on X to inform his rabid supporters of the locations where I.C.E. is conducting deportation operations of illegal aliens. In doing so, Tabke is encouraging protests/riots, which have turned violent and deadly. Impeding the actions of law enforcement is asking for trouble. Depraved minds like Brad Tabke want to protect illegal aliens and attack American citizens. See posts below:


The screenshots above are only some recent examples, he is unhinged and doing this nonstop! In fact, Tabke is even pushing a sign-up form for others to join in on stalking I.C.E. agents! See below:

President Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide. The American People voted for a deportation agenda to be implemented. Tim Walz was one of the major reasons the Democrats lost as big as they did. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they are doubling down for their far-left base.
Brad Tabke represents a swing district that became slightly more Democrat-heavy following 2022 redistricting. Despite this, Tabke only “won” reelection in 2024 by 14 votes, however, 21 ballots were TRASHED in his district! This means that votes that may have changed the outcome of the race were not counted! Brad Tabke was NOT legitimately elected and shouldn’t even be holding power as is!
Tabke is only in office because RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth cut a deal with Democrats to seat him at the beginning of session. Had the 67 Republicans remained strong and refused to recognize Tabke’s election certificate, a special election would’ve taken place where the Republicans could’ve won a majority in the House! Instead, Demuth recognized the Democrats’ phony, closed-door swearing-in ceremony as legitimate and used the House Rules to protect Tabke from removal. Only state Reps. Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) voted against the anti-election validity rule package while the other 65 GOP members stabbed Republican voters in the back.
Going even further back, if the RINOs unified behind then-state Rep. Erik Mortensen's reelection campaign, Tabke likely wouldn't have been elected in 2022 either! The HRCC and state party worked against Mort's campaign to maintain the seat stays in Republican hands. One thing appears certain: The RINOs would rather have a far-left Democrat in power than a constitutional conservative!
As the Representative of a swing district who pretends to be moderate, one would think Tabke would realize how stupid it is of him to be publicly stalking I.C.E. agents and encouraging chaos. He is playing a dangerous game that may not end well for him with a fired-up DOJ under President Trump. In the meantime, Tabke may encourage nutjobs to interfere with law enforcement resulting in some getting hurt or killed. The leftist mobs are already chasing down and attacking conservatives.
It is clear: You have nothing to worry about with I.C.E. if you are a citizen and if you don’t impede their work. The immature tactics of Brad Tabke and his far-left base serve as a reminder for why Minnesota is currently the national laughing-stock.
Brad Tabke is putting lives in danger and should immediately correct course by retracting his statements and stop stalking I.C.E. agents.
Action 4 Liberty will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Out-of-control riots and protests do not protect the liberty of Minnesotans, it puts it in harm's way. A4L will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting reporting that they cannot get anywhere else.
RINO Gov. Candidates Bennett, Demuth, & Madel Refuse to Pledge to Veto Publicly Funded Abortion

A GOP Governor debate was held in Scott County on Thursday, January 15th, and was moderated by state Senator Bill Lieske (SD58). Many topics were covered and several areas created serious differentiation between candidates; Most notably, whether the candidate would veto publicly funded abortion. Of the 11 candidates participating, all candidates except Lisa Demuth, Chris Madel, and Peggy Bennett said they would veto the bill. The debate can be viewed in full here and the abortion section can be viewed here.
Self-described thumb-twiddler Peggy Bennett was the only candidate to explicitly say no while Democrat donor Chris Madel and Empty Suit Lisa “Kamala” Demuth offered up word salads. The question was delivered in a very clear way that demanded a yes or no answer, yet Madel and Demuth decided to skirt the issue. By refusing to answer yes or no, conservatives will have to assume they would not veto an abortion omnibus bill.
Lisa Demuth’s non-answer comes as no surprise. The 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history that Demuth agreed to with Walz and Democrats behind closed doors included the Health/abortion omnibus bill. Demuth voted for two different versions of that bill, one in regular session (HF2435) and another in the special session (HF2) and both included taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood and to pay for abortions. MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash attempted to cover for what Demuth and 28 other RINO state Reps. did rather than demand legislators vote in line with the MNGOP platform.
Taxpayer funded abortion is the anti-thesis of the Republican Party’s platform. As argued by former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer, if you won’t defund abortion you shouldn’t be a Republican in office. Demuth could’ve drawn a line in the sand and said she would not put a bill on the House floor that included that money but the issue clearly doesn’t reach the same level of importance as it does for MN conservatives. Demuth and Walz were on the same page and she voted for every single bill he signed into law in 2025.
With a record so similar to Tim Walz, it is no wonder why Demuth has to obfuscate serious questions voters have. The same could be said about Chris Madel, who was a major Democrat donor who gave $8,800 to Amy Klobuchar and $5,500 to Tim Walz which includes $4,000 to Walz in the 2022 Governor race. Demuth and Madel are unable to be straight up with voters because they are not aligned with the grassroots conservatives they are trying to win over.
Action 4 Liberty remains one of the only organizations in Minnesota who has always given voters the truth when it comes to taxpayer dollars funding abortion. Fake pro-life groups like the MCCL misrepresent the truth and play cover for the RINOs that vote for your tax dollars to fund the killing of unborn (and born) babies. While the MN Supreme Court has ruled that tax dollars should fund abortion, that does NOT compel a legislator to vote for the bill! If that were the case, why have a Legislature at all? Why is there a vote on funding abortion? Senator Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) proved the MCCL to be complete liars when he introduced an amendment that defunded tax dollars going to abortion. By holding that vote, it became obvious that the legislature can remove abortion funds from the Health omnibus bill!
Senator Wesenberg also says he was “begged” by a MCCL lobbyist (Don Parker) that he NOT introduce his life at conception Amendment on the Senate floor because it is “too extreme”. Instead of attacking the RINOs who voted for the abortion bill, the MCCL would rather attack conservative legislators and truthful groups like A4L exposing the truth. This goes to show the grassroots that self-proclaimed pro-life groups are not what they truly appear to be.
The same goes for self-proclaimed pro-life politicians. Dr. Scott Jensen said in the Scott County debate that he would veto such legislation, but while in the state Senate, he voted FOR the bill! Kristin Robbins was not a participant of the debate but she voted for an abortion funding omnibus bill last year.
As mentioned, A4L will always give conservatives the straight truth. While it would be nice to think that all Republican legislators are voting in line with the pro-life agenda, it would be dishonest to argue that. RINOs Peggy Bennett, Lisa Demuth, and Chris Madel exemplify the divide between the Establishment and the pro-life grassroots. A4L will continue keeping Patriots informed with the truth and will expose the RINOs who spend your tax dollars on abortion.
5 Week School Closure; Students Attack State Capitol & Are Propaganized to Oppose I.C.E.

Minnesota schools are failing and not preparing students with core educational standards. Reading, writing, math, science, and history knowledge is on a downward spiral and students are graduating without reaching proficiency on those subjects. Instead of knuckling down and improving education in Minnesota, the leftist Minneapolis Public Schools chose to end mandatory in person classes for five weeks! Even worse, they are propagandizing the students to oppose I.C.E. and show up to protests.
Parents have to rely on schools to know where their kids are and to occupy their time during typical work hours. By allowing kids to skip school for five weeks, they are encouraging young people with malleable minds to fall in line with anti-American, pro-open border, leftist political opinions. Teachers and other public school officials have no right to push their political leanings onto children yet the school closure is directly related to President Trump’s efforts to deport illegal aliens in Minnesota.
Things have gotten a whole lot worse as students sieged the MN Capitol today (Thursday, Jan. 15th). Video footage can be seen below:
MINNESOTA — High school kids fight each other during a "walk out" in protest of ICE at the state capitol building.
— Toria Brooke (@realtoriabrooke) January 15, 2026
pic.twitter.com/ImIfynEggH
This comes after Tim Walz has encouraged protests, called I.C.E. agents Gestapo Nazis, and has continued to excuse the actions of far-left rioters. He holds serious responsibility for the chaos in Minnesota. Walz should not be fighting the federal government completing its legal obligations to deport illegal aliens. President Trump is forced to clean up the mess of Biden’s open border and obstructionist Dems like Tim Walz are making it more difficult to do.
The footage of propagandized students breaking into the MN Capitol is ironic considering Walz and Democrats’ hyperbolic attacks against President Trump for January 6th. Walz argued that Trump deserved to be impeached despite President Trump’s speech demanding peaceful protests. If Walz were to be consistent, he should support his own impeachment for encouraging malleable young people to skip school and to participate in anti-Trump protests like the one seen at the Capitol.
Minnesota is in the national spotlight and conservatives are fed up with the far-left politicians who have controlled this state for years upon years. MN is at a cross-roads where decisions must be made. Walz was forced to not run for reelection after national exposure informed Americans how corrupt and fraud-ridden MN is. Walz has even had criminal referrals filed against him by GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Walz is on the ropes and knows President Trump is not afraid of him. Walz’ threats to use the National Guard against I.C.E. officers and if President Trump evokes the Insurrection Act, Walz may try to use the MN National Guard to go to war with our own nation on behalf of illegal aliens!
Action 4 Liberty will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Liberty is not protected when the interests of illegal aliens are prioritized over hard-working Americans. Tim Walz is playing a dangerous game and should discontinue his efforts to rile up the far-left base to oppose common sense deportations of criminal thugs. Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with reporting that they cannot find anywhere else.
Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Tim Walz by GOP Rep. Mike Wiener

Tim Walz has been exposed as a national embarrassment responsible for overseeing billions upon billions in fraud, largely to Somalis. Nick Shirley’s viral exposure of MN’s daycare fraud is an issue A4L and other conservatives have known of and reported on for years but Shirley was able to capture the attention of the nation and the world. This exposure forced Tim Walz to drop out of the 2026 Governor race and hang his head in shame. Now, Republican state Representative Mike Wiener (5B) has filed articles of impeachment against Walz.
This is not the first time articles of impeachment have been filed against Tim Walz. In 2021, then-state Rep. (now-A4L President) Erik Mortensen was joined by Reps. Steve Drazkowski and Jeremy Munson to file articles of impeachment against Walz for his corrupt, tyrannical, anti-freedom handling of Covid. The lockdowns, mandates, and loss of personal liberties endured under Covid should have been reason enough for all Republican legislators to support the impeachment effort. Unfortunately, only Mortensen, Drazkowski, and Munson had the guts to impeach Walz over this critical issue.
Now, a new crop of legislators have been elected and are picking up right where Mortensen left off on this issue. Rep. Mike Weiner is joined by Reps. Drew Roach (58B), Ben Davis (6A), Krista Knudsen (5A), and Pam Altendorf (20A). See the full articles of impeachment below:



As per Article 8 of the MN Constitution, articles of impeachment must originate from the State House and be followed up by State Senate action. Conservative Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) has publicly shown support for the impeachment effort and will likely spearhead the fight in the Senate after passage in the House. See below:

While five State Reps. have signed onto this effort, this means that 62 GOP State Reps. have not! The vast majority of GOP State Reps. must decide if they want to give political cover for Tim Walz or if they want to support the goals of grassroots conservatives.
The 2026 legislative session will begin on Tuesday, February 17th. Conservative Minnesotans will be anticipating Rep. Weiner to take immediate action on this matter on the first day the House is in session. Conservatives will also demand the impeachment of AG Keith Ellison, SOS Steve Simon, and State Auditor Julie Blaha for their roles in the mass fraud scheme.
Action 4 Liberty will track where this goes and inform Patriots which politicians are standing up to Tim Walz and which ones protect Walz from the consequences of his fraud. The impeachment against Walz has been deserved for a long time coming. Action 4 Liberty will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Patriots will continue to receive top-notch reporting from A4L that they cannot get from anywhere else.
Walter Hudson Defends Radical Left Dem as ‘Reasonable’ Against Conservative Criticism

While Establishment state Rep. Walter Hudson (30A) typically demands that conservatives are not allowed to criticize RINOs who backstab Republican voters, Hudson has gone even further by demanding conservatives not criticize far-left Democrats! That’s right, Hudson is coming to the defense of radical left Democrats against conservative criticism! This shows that it’s one big club and you aren’t in it!
MNGOP RNC Committeeman AK Kamara posted on X calling out radical leftist Sandra Feist (39B) for being the original author of the tampons in boy’s bathrooms legislation. Kamara pointed out how radical Feist’s positions are and his views are shared with nearly every Republican anywhere in the state. See post below:

Instead of agreeing or just keeping his mouth shut, Hudson comes to the defense of Feist and says she is “one of the more reasonable ones” who he can “actually have a productive conversation with”. Why would Hudson say this when Kamara is proving that Feist put tampons in boys bathrooms? Hudson even demands Kamara change his viewpoint accordingly! See below:

Keep in mind, Feist votes with the Democrats in favor of liberal, big government positions in EVERY SINGLE vote of substance! This is not a moderate Democrat, she is just as radical as the rest of the House Dem caucus! As seen in the 2025 A4L Scorecard, Feist got a pathetic 8.33% which means on the most critical votes, she will oppose liberty over 90% of the time! Her record is no different than just about any Dem legislator!
In another post, Hudson even calls Feist his friend but doesn't know if the feeling is reciprocated! He is trying to suck up to Democrats that may not even like him!
While Hudson constantly pushes fake news about A4L and attacks grassroots conservatives, he continually protects RINO politicians on social media (where he seems to spend most hours of his miserable life). In one instance, Hudson demanded RINO Ron Kresha be praised for his work on the Education omnibus bill (that initially spent $2M for a DEI center in deal agreed to by Kresha) and argued that NO ONE else could have done what he did! Hudson has also sat on the Fraud Committee and protected RINO Ron from facing any investigations over alleged PPP loan fraud. Taxpayers would like to know if a legislator is unjustly collecting their tax dollars but Hudson has used his role to protect the RINO Establishment. Hudson even endorsed RINO Ron at the 10A endorsing convention in 2024 against conservative opponent Diane Webb-Skillings AFTER he was informed by locals that Kresha authored a bill that spent tax dollars protecting illegal aliens from deportation!
Hudson’s arrogance continues to balloon bigger and bigger. Instead of fighting the St. Paul Swamp, Hudson has become a part of it and a protector of its members. Hudson has also praised Democrat Zach Stephenson on the House floor for their shared desire to imprison Minnesotans who make AI memes of politicians. It is clear that Hudson’s interests are not with conservatives, his interests are against conservatives.
A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Power almost always turns politicians into worse people. Hudson is far less conservative now than he was when he was first elected. Hudson was the once lead House author of A4L’s Never Again Bill but now argues that A4L supporters should be purged from the MNGOP. While crooked politicians like Hudson continue becoming more swampy, A4L will remain MN’s principled conservative voice for the grassroots.
Updated Breakdown on MN Governor Candidates; 13 Republicans Running

Tyrant Tim Walz is officially out of the MN Governor race and the dynamics of the race have changed. Walz was considered a weak opponent after national exposure of fraud capitulated into the modern political zeitgeist. Walz has an awful record and is known by many as a habitual liar and a lover of China and Somalia. Tampon Tim’s exit from the race requires GOP candidates to recalibrate, though any Democrat can still have the issue of fraud laid at their doorstep.
13 Republican candidates are running for Governor and two Democrats including perennial candidate Christopher Seymore and another named Bill Gates Jr. (no relation to Microsoft CEO Bill Gates). A4L previously broke down the candidates in the race but wanted to provide Patriots with an updated breakdown to accurately reflect current standings and to give Patriots a one-stop-shop of information. Learn about each of the Republican candidates below shown in alphabetical order:

Peggy Bennett
As seen in previous A4L reporting, Bennett has been in office for over a decade and is a self-described thumb-twiddler. Bennett is the most recent of candidates to announce and is likely having trouble winning over conservative delegates. Bennett scored a pathetic 45.83% on the 2025 A4L Scorecard and has a lifetime score of just 48.65%. Bennett is bringing very little to the table that cannot be found in other Establishment RINO candidates though she will probably differentiate herself using her previous teaching career. It is unlikely that Bennett will be unable to move the needle in this race as most Republicans have no clue she is running.


Lisa Demuth/Ryan Wilson
RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth has an awful legislative record, specifically in 2025 where she cut a deal with Tim Walz behind closed doors to pass the 2nd LARGEST budget in Minnesota history using corrupt, unconstitutional, fraud-ridden omnibus bills. At the beginning of session, Demuth cut a deal with Democrats to seat radical leftist Brad Tabke despite the massive election fraud issues in that district where 21 ballots were trashed and the margin of victory only 14 votes. By certifying Tabke's election certificate and recognizing the Dem's phony swearing-in ceremony, Demuth prevented the GOP from having a real House majority. She voted for every single bill signed into law by Walz in 2025 and passed every single penny of the widespread fraud being uncovered. Demuth killed the Never Again Bill on the House floor and instead propped up RINO Kristin Robbins’ fake version. It appears Lisa Demuth is an empty suit that cares more about political power than pushing conservative political change as evidenced by her pathetic 20.83% score in the 2025 A4L Scorecard. and her unwillingness to sign onto the Never Again Pledge. Demuth participated in the recent Morrison County GOP forum. Demuth selected attorney, businessman, and 2022 GOP Auditor nominee Ryan Wilson as her running mate as an attempt to curry favor with conservative delegates. Many fear that he is engaging in the same kind of political ladder-climbing conservatives have come to despise by playing cover for Lisa Demuth’s liberal legislative record. In addition, Wilson refuses to speak with A4L founder Jake Duesenberg and is seemingly afraid to appear on the Truth Hurts show.

Raul Estrada/Joe Liberty
Raul Estrada is a community and anti-establishment political activist. Estrada is an American Indian who pushes back against the nonsense “Native Studies” that students are learning from “an old white liberal professor with green hair”. Estrada is a constitutional conservative who has signed onto A4L’s Never Again Pledge and has committed to preventing any future Governor from locking our state down covid-style like was done under Tim Walz. Estrada announced immediately during his campaign launch that Joe Kincaid (better known as Joe Liberty) would be his running mate in this race. Kincaid is a known conservative activist and remains active in the MN political scene. While Estrada and Kincaid are lacking in name recognition and mega-donors, they are running an unorthodox campaign that may tap into non-typical GOP voters. Estrada participated in the Morrison County GOP forum and stood out from his competition by wearing overalls.


Dr. Scott Jensen/Phouthaivanh Wilkerson
2022 GOP Governor nominee, Dr. Scott Jensen, has lost an incredible amount of steam since his previous run and has adopted a Ukraine-style campaign color scheme. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Jensen received just EIGHT votes out of 336 State Central delegates during their straw poll. Jensen has flip-flopped a million times over on issues that conservatives consider most critical; Notably, questions concerning the 2nd Amendment and abortion. Jensen previously interned at Planned Parenthood, voted to fund abortion while in the State Senate, claimed he would end abortion in MN, changed his stance in the general election by arguing no Governor can change abortion laws in MN, and has been all over the map again since! Previous A4L reporting even shows how Jensen berated Republican State Senator Glenn Gruenhagen over his conservative positions on abortion and transgender child mutilation. Jensen will also struggle to win over MAGA delegates as he helped promote Trump’s Libertarian opponent in 2020, offered no endorsement for President Trump in the 2024 race, and sucked-up to Somalis as mass fraud became nationally exposed. Jensen will have to rely on the medical freedom community for support despite refusing to sign onto A4L’s Never Again Pledge. On Monday, Jan. 12th, Jensen announced his running mate would be political-unknown Phouthaivanh Wilkerson. Wilkerson is a Dakota County police officer who left Laos in 1979 after her father was imprisoned and executed during the Vietnam War. Wilkerson claims in a campaign video that she looked at all of the candidates and asked Scott Jensen to select her as his running mate. Many conservatives will likely fear that Jensen selected Wilkerson as an attempt to play identity politics considering that she does not appear to have any real political experience. If Jensen had selected Matt Birk to again be his running mate, he likely would be on more conservatives’ radars but with Jensen selecting a political nobody, he may have completely ended his shot at becoming the GOP nominee. Sources tell A4L that Jensen refused to attend the Morrison County GOP forum and did not provide an excuse as to why.

Jeff Johnson
Johnson is a former St. Cloud city councilman and Stearns County Assessor who led some important fights to lower taxes and try to block the mass migration of Somalis into St. Cloud. Johnson does not appear to have a strong, serious campaign and will likely have to rely on Republican voters being under the false assumption that he is the same Jeff Johnson who was the 2014 and 2018 GOP nominee for Governor. Johnson aligned himself with the RINO Establishment by refusing to sign A4L’s Never Again Pledge when he could’ve instead aligned himself with the conservative grassroots.

Patrick Knight
Knight is a Marine veteran who served for over 20 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel. He is the CEO of Waymouth Farms and sells products such as organic nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. The business appears to be successful as online estimates of their annual revenue ranges from $15M to $30.5M. Unfortunately for conservatives, Knight donated Dean Phillips and another Democrat just two days after J6 and has also given $1,800 to Globalist RINO Tom Emmer over the years as seen in previous A4L reporting. Knight’s campaign video launch was bland, noncontroversial, and milque-toast and his campaign priorities are so generic that they could be the platform of any swing district candidate of either party. As seen in a recent Morrison County GOP forum, Knight is pushing his “Big, Beautiful, Basic, Boring Plan” which includes “growing a dynamic economy, make MN affordable again, fix schools by focusing on outcomes, restore the rule of law in public safety, and drive a smaller, smarter state economy.”

Brad Kohler
Brad Kohler is a former UFC heavyweight professional fighter and small business owner. Kohler has previously run for state senate in SD38, Congress in CD3, and Hennepin County Commissioner. Kohler has previously appeared on The Truth Hurts show multiple times including for his Congressional run, his Governor run with his then running mate Tim Christopher, and again to provide more clarity concerning his felony convictions and comments he made at a local Republican meeting. While Kohler has not broken into the top-tier candidate field, he has garnered support from conservative delegates. Kohler believes his interesting life story shows how hard times can bring redemption and argues he brings a unique perspective to many issues facing Minnesotans including a corrupted judicial system. Brad was the first Governor candidate this cycle to sign the Never Again Pledge and did so at A4L’s ultra-popular Walz Lies state fair booth and was a participant in the Morrison County GOP forum.

John Krhin
Krhin is an Assembly of God Christian minister and is a dedicated pro-life activist. John explains in a campaign video that his father was 60 years old (born in 1892) and his mother was 50 years old when he was born as the youngest of 8 children, highlighting his unique life experience and upbringing. Krhin has 8 children of his own that he and his wife homeschooled and also has 30 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. In the campaign video, he also touts his blue-collar life including working in northern MN mines, driving trucks for UPS, and being a commercial truck driver for ten years. John is a supporter of the Convention of the States movement to impose Constitutional Amendments such as term limits, fiscal restraints, and reducing federal overreach. Krhin signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge and has committed to protecting the personal liberties of Minnesotans. Many attendees were very impressed with Krhin’s poise and answers during the recent Morrison County GOP forum.

Mike Lindell
Lindell is the most well-known of the GOP candidate field as the CEO of My Pillow and for his dedicated efforts to election integrity. Lindell was a leader in the Stop The Steal movement and has gained the respect of the Grassroots for standing up to corrupt politicians. Anti-freedom Socialists like Keith Ellison and the Biden FBI have done all they can to close My Pillow and put Lindell in prison but he continues to fight on. Lindell recently appeared on The Truth Hurts Show to share his vision and campaign commitments. As a businessman outsider fed up with corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle, Lindell has become a favorite among many conservative voters. Lindell signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge live at the A4L Christmas party to show Minnesota that he will never allow the state to be locked down under unilateral control ever again. Lindell also participated in the Morrison County GOP forum.

Chris Madel
Madel is an attorney that gained fame through his representation of Trooper Ryan Londregan in the case concerning the shooting of Ricky Cobb (who sped off during a traffic stop). Madel’s Governor campaign has had a rocky start considering many conservatives wrote him off as soon as they learned that Madel is a big time Democrat donor, even going back to John Kerry. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Madel has donated $5,500 to Walz, $8,900 to Joe Biden or his PAC, and $8,800 to Amy Klobuchar (to name a few). Madel has argued that his donations to Democrats helped free his clients, which sounds like a corrupt pay to play scheme and also nonsensical. A Biden donation or a Dean Phillips donation or a Steve Simon donation helped free his legal clients? How would that make any sense?! Of course it doesn’t and Madel’s attempts to appear tough and angry has not been received well by many Republican voters. He did tamper down the anger and was fairly well-received at the recent Morrison County GOP forum. Madel is/was a MPPOA legal defense fund member and as many conservatives know, the MPPOA is pro-gun control, gives awards to swing district fake moderate Democrats, endorses drunk driving Democrats, and fails to represent rank and file officers (which seems to be why the MPPOA lost the ability to represent the Law Enforcement Labor Services, the MN State Patrol Troopers, and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agents Association in December last year). Interestingly, Madel remains Alpha News’ lawyer despite him running for Governor and having an ultra-liberal political donation record. Madel has refused to sign onto A4L's Never Again Pledge.

Phil Parrish
Parrish is an administrator for Divine Mercy Catholic School and also has a teaching background. Parrish is a Navy veteran who reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Parrish has run for office several times including U.S. Senate in 2014, Governor in 2018, MNGOP Chair in 2021, and SOS briefly in 2022. Parrish attributes his previous losses and battles with grassroots liberty conservatives to his previous anger and attitude which he feels he has corrected. Parrish previously was on The Truth Hurts Show and has garnered more attention in this run than his previous runs. Despite posting AI memes with the Incredible Hulk behind him or a video of himself turning into super-hero Ironman, Parrish outperformed Kendall Qualls in head-to-head KSTP polling against Tim Walz and has appealed to different types of voters. Parrish has signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge and committed to protecting the individual liberties of Minnesotans by removing unilateral Emergency Powers authority. Parrish also participated in the recent Morrison County GOP forum.

Kendall Qualls
Qualls is a U.S. Army veteran, previous healthcare executive for Johnson & Johnson, and previously ran for Governor in 2022. The 2022 convention went multiple rounds when Mike Murphy accused Quall’s team of offering him the Lt. Gov. position then taking the offer back. Many instead suspected Qualls would select pro-abortion Michelle Tafoya since she chaired his campaign and he refused to announce who he would run with. Qualls claims he will abide by the party endorsement despite him not immediately endorsing Jensen after losing the delegate vote to him and Qualls endorsed RINO He/Him Joe Frasier for U.S. Senate in 2024 after Frasier lost the endorsement to Royce White. Qualls’ 2022 campaign was funded by healthcare/pharmaceutical mega-donor David Fraunshush and Qualls changed his position on Emergency Powers THREE times on his website. Similarly to Scott Jensen, Qualls is considered to be a very weak and underwhelming debater that may drop the ball, though he was generally well-received in the recent Morrison County GOP forum. When he ran for Congress against Dean Phillips in 2020, he wore useless face masks everywhere on the campaign trail. Qualls also gave the introduction speech for corrupt David Hann in the 2021 MNGOP Chair race against Phil Parrish, proving he is totally aligned with the Establishment. Despite looking like a fool, Qualls has put on his Indiana Jones-style Governor hat on the campaign trail. Unsurprisingly, Qualls has again refused to sign A4L’s Never Again Pledge. Qualls did win the 2025 State Central straw poll, highlighting that he has more early momentum in this campaign than his previous run despite performing the WORST in head to head KSTP polling against Walz.

Kristin Robbins
Robbins is a State Representative and the author of the FAKE Never Again Bill which watered down A4L and Erik Mortensen’s bill to end unilateral Emergency Power authority. Robbins’ bill actually INCREASED unilateral Governor Emergency Powers by increasing the time for the Emergency from 5 days to 14 days! The bill additionally did nothing to stop future mask or “vaccine” mandates. Unsurprisingly, Robbins has refused to sign A4L's Never Again Pledge. Robbins was the Neocon Nikki Haley 2024 campaign chair for MN and openly opposed President Trump’s candidacy. Robbins has received support from Haley in the MN Governor race with multiple emails/texts from Haley’s team to fundraise for Robbins where Haley calls Robbins her "secret weapon". Kristin Robbins has failed to generate significant buzz around her campaign and arguably performed the worst in the recent Morrison County GOP forum. She also has received a pathetic 41.67% score in the 2025 A4L Scorecard, showing that she is more likely to vote for the Establishment, big government position than the pro-liberty position more than half of the time. Robbins voted for awful bills such as increasing Keith Ellison's budget while Ellison is constantly suing the Trump Admin (SF3045), the Health omnibus bill that includes abortion/Planned Parenthood funding (HF2435) and giving our state $700M of debt (HF18).
Conclusion
The crowded GOP field of candidates for MN Governor highlights that there is heavy momentum against Democrats for imposing a radical agenda on our state. Walz had to drop out of the race in disgrace and rumors are floating around that he will resign from office entirely. It remains to be seen who will be running on the Democrat side and Republicans will likely have to prepare for anything. A4L will remain the cutting-edge source for MN Patriots and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
