Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he has concerns about the Hennepin County Attorney’s handling of the murder case against a state trooper who fatally shot a man during a 2023 traffic stop.

The big picture: A legal dispute between county attorney Mary Moriarty and trooper Ryan Londregan’s defense over a use-of-force expert sparked criticism from law enforcement and calls from Republicans for her to resign.

  • On Friday, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association sent the governor a letter asking him to use his legal authority to direct the attorney general’s office to take over the prosecution.

Catch up fast: Moriarty announced in January that his office was charging Londregan with second-degree unintentional murder for shooting and killing Ricky Cobb II last July.

North Star Act aims to provide protections to immigrants lacking legal status

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Legislature will begin its new session on Monday, and a bill that would make Minnesota a sanctuary state is expected to be among the top priorities.

It’s called the North Star Act and it aims to protect immigrants lacking legal status.

Under the bill, law enforcement and other government agencies such as school districts and public health agencies cannot ask someone about their immigration status or help in civil immigration enforcement.

The bill also prevents state and local agencies from sharing data or collaborating with US officials to enforce immigration laws, but they can still do so if it’s part of a criminal investigation.

State government officials would also be banned from acting as immigration enforcers.

Supporters say that would help in reducing stress in interactions with law enforcement.
