邦迪要求明尼苏达州提供选民名单和福利数据,以在枪击事件后“恢复法律与秩序”


2026年1月25日 / 美国东部时间下午2:24 / CBS新闻

司法部长帕姆·邦迪正敦促明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹允许联邦政府获取该州的选民名单和公共援助数据。此前,联邦移民局特工在明尼阿波利斯市进行为期数周的打击行动时,周六又有一人被枪杀,该市局势紧张。

CBS新闻获取的一封三页长信显示,邦迪还敦促明尼苏达州废除所有“庇护州”政策,并“全面配合”美国移民与海关执法局(ICE),包括允许该机构进入所有当地监狱,并满足联邦特工拘留人员的要求。

“我相信这些简单的步骤将有助于恢复明尼苏达州的法律与秩序,并改善美国人的生活,”邦迪在周六给州长的信中写道。她指责州政府官员发表“反执法言论”,并“将联邦特工置于危险之中”。

明尼苏达州务卿史蒂夫·西蒙周日回应称:“对邦迪司法部长的请求的答案是否定的。”

西蒙称邦迪的信件是“试图胁迫明尼苏达州向联邦政府提供数百万美国公民私人数据的恶劣企图,这违反了州和联邦法律”,并表示这是“司法部多次试图迫使我的办公室提供相同数据但均未成功”。

特朗普政府数周来一直试图加强对明尼苏达州监狱和拘留所的访问权限,暗示如果能更自由地进入拘留设施追捕被指控非法滞留美国的人员,可能会缩减在该州的移民行动。明尼苏达州惩教官员表示,他们已与ICE合作,但各县的合作程度不同。

邦迪表示,联邦政府需要获取州选民名单数据,以“确认明尼苏达州的选民登记做法符合联邦法律”。司法部数月来一直推动明尼苏达州及其他州提供选民登记数据,并于去年起诉明尼苏达州要求获取该数据——但该部门过去通常不会将此类请求与明尼苏达州的移民执法行动挂钩。

此外,邦迪要求该州共享医疗补助计划(Medicaid)和补充营养援助计划(即食品券)的记录,以便联邦政府能“有效调查欺诈行为”。特朗普政府正重点关注明尼苏达州公共援助项目中所谓的欺诈计划。

西蒙在回应中指出:“邦迪司法部长完全清楚,州长在管理选举或维护选民登记系统方面没有正式角色。她也很清楚,这项具体请求是我们办公室正在进行的诉讼的主题。”

“美国司法部长将这项非法请求作为明显的‘勒索’手段,以换取本州的和平与安全,这令人深感不安,”西蒙补充道,“更广泛地说,联邦政府必须立即结束对本州史无前例且致命的‘占领’。”

州长办公室对该信件的回应是敦促特朗普政府“就结束这种联邦占领进行严肃对话”。瓦尔兹办公室周日发表声明,严厉批评联邦移民局特工的行为,包括周六枪杀亚历克斯·普雷蒂(Alex Pretti),以及本月早些时候一名联邦官员开枪打死蕾妮·古德(Renee Good)的事件。

声明称:“这不是常识性的合法移民执法。这不是这场‘占领’的目的,也不是司法部长信件的目的。”

Bondi seeks Minnesota voter rolls, welfare data to “help bring back law and order” in wake of shootings

January 25, 2026 / 2:24 PM EST / CBS News

Attorney General Pam Bondi is pushing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to let the federal government access the state’s voter rolls and public assistance data, as tensions flare in Minneapolis after a second person was shot Saturday by federal immigration agents assigned to a weekslong crackdown in the city.

In a three-page letter obtained by CBS News, Bondi also urged the state of Minnesota to scrap all “sanctuary” policies and “cooperate fully” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including giving the agency access to all local jails and honoring federal agents’ requests to detain people.

“I am confident that these simple steps will help bring back law and order to Minnesota and improve the lives of Americans,” Bondi wrote in her letter to the governor Saturday, which accused state officials of “anti-law enforcement rhetoric” and “putting federal agents in danger.”

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon responded with a statement Sunday saying: “The answer to Attorney General Bondi’s request is no.”

Simon called Bondi’s letter “an outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into giving the federal government private data on millions of U.S. Citizens in violation of state and federal law,” and said it followed “repeated and failed attempts by the DOJ to pressure my office into providing the same data.”

The Trump administration has pressed for greater access to Minnesota jails and prisons for weeks, suggesting it may roll back immigration operations in the state if it had more power to go into detention facilities to pursue people accused of being in the U.S. illegally. State corrections officials say they already cooperate with ICE, but cooperation varies at the county level.

Bondi said the federal government needs access to state voter roll data to “confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law.” The Justice Department has pushed Minnesota and other states to provide voter registration data for months, suing Minnesota for access to the data last year — but the department typically hasn’t tied that push to immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota in the past.

And Bondi demanded that the state share records on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, so the federal government can “efficiently investigate fraud,” as the Trump administration focuses on alleged fraud schemes in Minnesota public assistance programs.

In his response, Simon noted: “Attorney General Bondi knows full well that the Governor has no formal role in managing our elections or maintaining our voter registration system. She is also well aware that this specific request is the subject of active litigation with our office.”

“It is deeply disturbing that the U.S. Attorney General would make this unlawful request a part of an apparent ransom to pay for our state’s peace and security,” Simon added. “More broadly, the federal government must end the unprecedented and deadly occupation of our state immediately.”

The governor’s office reacted to the letter by urging the Trump administration to “engage in a serious conversation about ending this federal occupation.” In a statement Sunday, Walz’s office sharply criticized the conduct of federal immigration agents, including Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and another shooting by a federal officer that killed Renee Good earlier this month.

“This is not common sense, lawful immigration enforcement. That is not what this occupation is about. And it’s not what the attorney general’s letter is about,” the statement read.
