Yesterday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, on behalf of the state and alongside the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, filed a federal lawsuit that is most notable in the absence of any intelligible legal principle. The effort to stop the surge of federal personnel to investigate fraud and enforce immigration is breathtakingly frivolous and farcical.
Ellison has long been more advocate than attorney in his public life, even praising Antifa for instilling fear in Trump and Ellison’s political opponents.
Ellison has been actively trying to tamp down coverage of the massive fraud under his watch, including potentially billions meant to support children and impoverished families.
Recently, a tape was released in which Ellison met with Somali figures later convicted of fraud and agreed with them that they needed to support “candidates that will fight to protect our interests.”
Now, Ellison is actually trying to get a federal court to prevent the federal government from surging resources in the state to investigate and prosecute fraud. The filing is little more than a press release with a caption on it:
“The Trump Administration’s new focus on “fraud” in Minnesota is just its latest attempt to attack Democratic politicians and more aggressively and recklessly implement their immigration enforcement agenda.”
Ellison wants a federal court to prevent the assignment of federal investigators and law enforcement to the state to enforce federal law. Ironically, the state is making this argument as a matter of state rights under the Tenth Amendment (as well as a series of equally frivolous claims under the Administrative Procedure Act).
Notably, they are trying to dictate the deployment of federal personnel and resources as a federalism claim. The filing is a diatribe that vaguely alleges racial profiling and attacks on “law-abiding citizens.”
At the press conference, Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her declared, “Federal law enforcement’s occupation of our city is putting us all at risk.” Ellison repeated the reckless rhetoric, insisting that “this federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.”
This is a purely performative measure, using a filing to give the appearance of action to satisfy irate constituents. Hopefully, the district court will respond with clarity about the use of the federal courts for political screeds.
In the movie Billy Madison, the principal responds to an argument from the lead character by saying.
“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
The scene comes to mind in reading this meritless filing.
Here is the filing: State of Minnesota v. Noem
If Democrats were to embrace the power of prayer, it would be for the 2nd coming of John Brown.
The inimical, anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian Hadrat Imam Prophet Brotha Keith Ellison and the citizens of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the entire state of Minnesota should be put in perspective.
There are 5.8 million people in the state of Minnesota.
There are 10.5 million people in the COUNTY of Los Angeles alone.
Keith Ellison speaks for effectively nobody, including 100,000 corrupt, unassimilable, parasitic s—hole-country Somali invaders.
CNN just can’t stop lying.

America has been corrupted by the unrestricted vote and a rogue Supreme Court that has failed miserably to support the “manifest tenor” of the Constitution as they are required by sworn oath.
Never did the American Founders intend for one man, one vote “democrazy” in their severely restricted-vote republic.

Judging by their behaviour, Democrats will say and do anything that will open doors to power and theft.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine that they do not cheat at elections.
Young,
“It is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine that they do not cheat at elections.”
And we wonder why they are so against things like voter ID.
Totally agree!
Of course, the Founders understood that citizens absolutely must show up at the polling place with identification to execute their legitimate vote.
Turnout was 11.6% in 1788, and vote restrictions, imposed by states, that year were severe: Male, European, and 21 with 50 lbs. Sterling, or 50 acres.
Huh?! In 1789 there was no such thing as “identification”.
Perhaps in 1789 the “Department of Fardiers de Cugnot” issued licenses and IDs.

Some extremist federal judges have assumed powers of the executive and the legislative branches of government.
This may not end well for the judiciary branch.
And it shouldn’t.
Roberts should act, we need a competent judiciary, but there are few indications that his has a spine or even recognizes the danger.
Addendum:
None of us would be very surprised if the plaintiffs in the above matter found a lunatic federal judge who ordered ICE out of Minnesota.
Presumably there would be sanity at appeal, but one never knows.
The good thing about these stupid district court cases is that the Trump administration is able to layer higher court precedents that clarify the role of the courts and the sometimes tyrannical [in the Greek sense of ruling without legal suthority] administrative agencies.
“None of us would be very surprised if the plaintiffs in the above matter found a lunatic federal judge who ordered ICE out of Minnesota. ”
The judiciary 100% relies on the Executive to enforce decisions, does it not? There is a point (very close at hand imo) at which the Executive MUST begin ignoring facially incorrect and Constitutionally unauthorized decisions by activist Federal judges, instead of waiting for months, if not years, for SCOTUS to reject those decisions.
The judiciary 100% relies on the Executive to enforce decisions, does it not?
There is one exception to that: The judiciary can prosecute contempt of court on its own, if the executive refuses to do so.
Ellison is the High Priest of the Cult of St George Floyd and thus everything is seen through the prism of RACISM. Orange Man Bad is trying to infringe on the right of Minnesomalians to grab all the cash they can from the Stupid Infidels who deserve to fleeced because they feel sorry for non-Colonialists! These morons are getting what they voted for – and then some! Nit Wits.
The man pretending to be the head of law enforcement in MN is opposed to the federal government using federal tax dollars to investigate fraud and illegal immigration in his state. He’d rather not investigate the fraud/illegal invaders, or he’d rather Minnesotans foot the bill.
Frankly, only Trump could make Democrats be that stupid. Bravo!!
600,000 suckers pre-ordered Trump Mobile phones which were supposed to be made in the US and delivered in September.

Ellison and his cohorts are simply trying to deflect and wiggle themselves out of the corruption pickle they are all MIRED in. It’s literally them flinging mud to try and see what sticks and in their mind make the stink bad enough people yell “SQUIRREL” AND LOOK AWAY FROM THEIR MISDEEDS. But it’s obvious that train has already left the station and is well down the tracks. Yet Muslim Ellison still makes this silly move to deflect and protect his Somali Muslim cohorts in the cash laundering fraud business they have been all benefitting from off the taxpayers bleeding backs. .
Bill Clinton defies congressional subpoena, Comer says contempt charges moving ahead
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear Wednesday
Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning.
Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House’s bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday.
Comer said Tuesday morning, “We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee … to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress.”
…
The Clintons’ attorney sent Comer a letter confirming they’re challenging the legality of the subpoenas issued against them.
“[T]he Subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute,” reads the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Clintons’ attorneys tore into Comer’s leadership of the investigation, accusing him of violating the Constitution’s separation of powers and trying to obfuscate the search for real information.

Are we to believe that former Presidents and their spouses are above the law, or does this just apply former Democrat Presidents? Or is it just the Clintons? I don’t remember hearing complaints about separation of powers when judges and State AGs were hammering Trump.
“Bill Clinton defies congressional subpoena, Comer says contempt charges moving ahead
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear Wednesday”
The report I saw on JTN on this issue claimed that both Clinton’s had “declined” (I think “refused” is more” accurate) to testify:
Clintons decline to testify in congressional Epstein probe, Comer to pursue contempt charges
https://justthenews.com/government/congress/clintons-refuse-testify-congressional-epstein-probe-comer-pursue-contempt
“After the Clintons on Tuesday refused to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s probe into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, committee Chairman James Comer said he would pursue contempt charges.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a letter posted on X that they do not plan to appear for their scheduled depositions this week.”
Indeed you are going to be correct, BUT We must wait for Hillary’s subpoena to expire (tomorrow) in order to respect the Subpoena’s order (process).
Yeah, She won’t be there citing the Attorney’s Letter, however that does not negate the limits of the subpoena, Therefore thereafter said limit (Wednesday January 14th 2026) expires, Contempt of Congress charges for Bill and Hillary will be issued by the Committee.
Be patient, Let both Clintons prove their Contempt of the Country.
In October 2025, Trump’s Department of Labor enacted a rule changing how wages are calculated for some temporary foreign farmworkers on H-2A visas, lowering pay rates for certain jobs.
Two months later, the Trump Organization filed paperwork seeking approval to hire 36 foreign workers via H-2A visas for its Virginia winery from February through October 2026, saying it could not find enough U.S. workers and that hiring foreign labor would not hurt domestic wages or working conditions.
The jobs pay $13.90 an hour—$1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025 and below what it has offered for similar roles since 2021, according to Labor Department records.
The Trump Organization has sought to bring at least 2,069 foreign workers into the United States since 2008, the first year for which records are available online.
Spokespeople for the White House and the Trump Organization did not respond to inquiries.
I wonder why they didn’t respond ?????

Is anon for real here ?. His deflection, inability to stick with the subject and incredulous avoidance here is off the charts silly. Typical left botzi !.
What does that have to do with this?
That’s the left’s game, obfuscate, out-of-context, insane conclusions, bat-crazy statements. All designed to rile. “annoyance warfare” at best.
From experience, they do not believe most of the crazy tho, it’s just supporting the narrative dropped from their leaders as a form of loyalty so they will feel like they belong to a group. Some people are always hoping to please someone that they percieve as providing favors for that loyalty. In Rhode Island it’s called “I know a guy”. It’s a self-esteem issue at heart, blocked out by defensiveness. They have to feel they are ‘good’ for their behavior, not ‘who’ they are (human, valuable – we don’t throw away new-born babies when there’s not enough hospital bassinets). It’s ‘performing in order to belong’.
I wonder why they didn’t respond ????? Um… maybe because the author lied about calling the WH etc.
Considering the level of stupidity you exhibit with that comment, it is believable that a libtards, like yourself and the author, is not averse to lying.
Walz says he needs a list of the whistleblowers so that a thorough investigation can be done.
There is already tons of evidence that the fraud occurred. In fact the Democrats are now admitting that fraud did occur. What could his motivation be for wanting a list of the whistleblowers when so much evidence is already readily available? His motivation can only be shut the hell up or else. Youse better keep quiet or we can fit youse for a pair of concrete shoes. Compared to Walz the Godfather was a picker.
I’m a whistleblower, here goes: Walz was the democrats worse misjudgement since biden and that is saying something.
Walz has demanded a list of the whistleblowers in the state government who exposed the billions of dollars in fraud in the states social welfare system. In Minnesota, by law whistleblowers are protected from retaliation. If he gets his wish who would ever be a whistleblower ever again. They wouldn’t and this is exactly his plan to make sure that they keep quiet in the future. https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-716736.
When he gets the list you can rest assured that he will strap his big black boots on.
What he really is doing is given a warning that there will be dire consequences if they should ever step out of line again. The fraud was simply kept hidden to protect immigrants and to hell with the kids who didn’t get the food that was promised. Period.
:Thinkitthrough
Not sure we are in disagreement, but perhaps to put the “list” action into historical perspective.
Stated simply, Walz is probably asking for that list so all on it can be doxed (as he wishes all Law Enforcement Officers were –ask the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association about him).
If received, within moments, there will be a flurry of “no kings” supporters (largely funded as we are seeing today by Soros OTF dark money in paying for violent protest participants supporting Iran) at the homes of those — along with every other Law Enforcement Official or soldier who does no refuse to enforce law as commanded by the famous 6 lead by Kelly — Slotkin, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander and Houlahan).
Walz has established his desire to be the leader of the storm boots – and woe be unto them who he determines deserves assault and slaughter – and those actions not only protect him and his friends from any legal responsibility, but it helps “enlighten” as the hated deserve.
Besides, we know those who use the dox information and attack “the hated” will be protected and cleared anyway. There IS legal precedent on that one:

AI: (Accessory to Murder or Accomplice)
An accomplice actively helps commit a crime, often present or involved during the act with shared intent, facing similar charges as the principal; an accessory, however, assists before (planning/providing means) or after (hiding/helping escape) the crime, isn’t usually present during, and generally faces lesser charges, often for a separate offense, focusing on helping the perpetrator evade justice or preparation, not the main act itself.
Accomplice
Involvement: Participates in or assists with the crime as it happens (or just before), sharing the principal’s criminal intent.
Presence: May or may not be physically present at the scene.
Charge: Often charged with the same crime as the principal offender (e.g., murder).
Accessory
Involvement: Aids the principal before (planning, providing weapons) or after (hiding, helping flee) the crime, but not during the core act.
Presence: Typically not present during the crime.
Charge: Faces a separate, usually less severe, charge for their specific assistance (e.g., Accessory After the Fact), as explained in this Meltzer & Bell article.
Key Distinction: Timing & Presence
Accomplice: “In it with them” (during or closely involved in the planning/execution).
Accessory: “Helped them get to it or get away from it” (before or after the main event).

So the Mayor now admits the state has a fraud issue.

Depending on the judge they either win or get Rule 11 sanctioned. We will see
Indeed, it’s right up there with Mother Jones saying duly elected officials, one who won both the popular and electoral vote, and all of whom have operated within the confines of existing law, are somehow attempting to ‘overthrow the government’. You just can’t make this crap up. The pearls have ben clutched into a fine powder.
Overthrow the duly elected government?… Apparently they CAN make this stuff up!
They never have an honest arguement. or shame. or good ideas.
Frivolous conduct is sanctionable. The attorney who signed the complaint and the attorney general who approved it should be held accountable with a personal fine and referral to the appropriate grievance committee.
“a personal fine and referral to the appropriate grievance committee.”
Yeah, that process has been instrumental in addressing and correcting so many past abuses by elected officials /sarcasm off. We need radical reform of (or, even better, an end to) qualified immunity for government officials, and we need it NOW! Make the buzzards as accountable for their words and actions as we are for ours!
@Anonymous
At this point, I suspect that’s because after they crushed the pearls into a powder, they then snorted it. The blatant misrepresentation of our laws on so many sides should be criminal in and of itself. That people are now leaving law school with these ideas does not bode well (think: future judges). It is indeed but a part, but we have got to do something about these universities, the root. Kids who don’t know any better are graduating thinking they know everything, and what we consider to be our protection could easily die in a generation or two. Law, precedent, minutiae – these do not matter one whit if the foundation is destroyed, and that is precisely what I personally believe the objective is.
Unfortunately the idiocy goes all the way to the judicial top with KBJ.
They treat utterly meritless as a dare.
“That people are now leaving law school with these ideas does not bode well (think: future judges). ”
I am unaware of any legal requirement that a judge first be a lawyer. Perhaps the solution lies in that direction. Personally, I would rather see a lay person who does not thoroughly understand the law on the bench, than a legal professional who thoroughly misunderstands its purpose.
