When asked if the crackdown in Minneapolis was the “retribution” Trump had vowed against the state, his White House did not deny the assertion.
“President Trump is committed to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections, and that includes totally accurate and up-to-date voter rolls free of errors and unlawfully registered non-citizen voters,” spokesperson Abigail Jackson said.
Indeed, Trump’s own words through the years suggest a link between his decision to send thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers into a state with a relatively small population of illegal immigrants and his desire to punish Minnesotans for their votes.
“I thought we won in 2016,” he told state party members in St. Paul on May 17, 2024, as he ran to regain the presidency. “I know we won it 2020.”
