The Trump Administration is taking the 2024 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz, and his state to court for prioritizing foreign nationals above Americans.

The Department of Justice issued a press release a short time ago announcing that they had filed a complaint seeking to overturn Minnesota laws that provide free and discounted in-state tuition for illegal aliens.

This violates federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a), which explicitly prohibits states from granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless all U.S. citizens—regardless of residency—are given the same benefit.

“Today, the United States is challenging laws in Minnesota that provide reduced in-state tuition — and in some cases, free tuition — for illegal aliens. These laws unconstitutionally discriminate against U.S. citizens, who are not afforded the same privileges, in direct conflict with federal law,” the press release reads.

“The Department of Justice has filed the complaint in the District of Minnesota. This challenge builds upon a recently successful lawsuit against the state of Texas on a similar law.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi released the following statement:

No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens.

The Department of Justice just won on this exact issue in Texas, and we look forward to taking this fight to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first.

In addition to Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is named in the lawsuit.

As TGP readers know, President Trump’s Department of Justice filed a lawsuit last week against Democrat Governor Andy Beshear and Kentucky state education officials for providing in-state college tuition to illegal aliens—while making out-of-state U.S. citizens pay full price.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, targets Beshear, Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher, and the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) for violating federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver was arraigned on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.

Earlier this month a federal grand jury returned a 3-count indictment charging Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers at the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark last month.

McIver is facing a maximum of 17 years in prison for all three counts.

The New Jersey Democrat remained defiant after her arraignment and told reporters, “They will not intimidate me.”

CBS News reported:

New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver pleaded not guilty Wednesday on charges of assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement related to a clash at the ICE detention facility at Delaney Hall in Newark.

McIver’s supporters, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and immigrants rights groups, rallied outside of federal court in Newark to call for the charges to be dropped.

McIver pleaded not guilty. If convicted, she faces eight years in prison.

“Congresswoman McIver pleaded not guilty because she is not guilty. On May 9, she was at Delaney Hall to carry out her responsibilities as Member of Congress. She was there to inspect an ICE detention facility and to see for herself whether the Trump administration is obeying the laws and Constitution of the United States. ICE responded by creating a risky and dangerous situation, and now the Justice Department is doubling down by trying to punish the Congresswoman for doing her job,” McIver’s attorney Paul Fishman said. “We are eager to challenge this case on multiple grounds and we are confident that the legal process will ultimately vindicate the Congresswoman.”

LaMonica McIver was seen entering the courthouse with her attorneys on Wednesday.

Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally abused and physically assaulted federal agents at a detention facility in Newark last month.

ICE bodycam footage revealed Rep. LaMonica McIver was verbally abusing federal agents and threatening to destroy their careers.

“I touch whoever I want motherf*cker!” McIver shouted.

The Justice Department on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Orange County Registrar of Voters Robert Page for refusing to hand over records showing non-citizens are registered to vote and receiving ballots in federal elections.

“Orange County has undermined that confidence by (1) refusing transparency of its voter information, in violation of federal voting laws, and (2) concealing the unlawful registration of ineligible, non-citizen voters. Keeping voter registration rolls accurate and current ensures efficient and secure elections and promotes democratic engagement. Accurate voter registration lists are necessary to ensure only eligible electors can cast a ballot,” the lawsuit against Bob Page said.

The Attorney General recently received a complaint from the family member of a non-citizen in Orange County indicating that the non-citizen received an unsolicited mail-in ballot from the Defendant, despite lack of citizenship.
On June 2, 2025, the Attorney General requested the following documents from the Defendant:
1. Records from January 1, 2020, to the present showing the number of voter registration records in Orange County cancelled because the registrant did not satisfy the citizenship requirements for voter registration.
2. Records from January 1, 2020, to the present related to each cancellation described in Request No. 1, including copies of each registrant’s voter registration application, voter registration record, voting history, and related correspondence sent or received by the County of Orange Registrar of Voters in regard to the registration.

“Voting by non-citizens is a federal crime, and states and counties that refuse to disclose all requested voter information are in violation of well-established federal elections laws” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Removal of non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls is critical to ensuring that the State’s voter rolls are accurate and that elections in California are conducted without fraudulent voting. The Department of Justice will hold jurisdictions that refuse to comply with federal voting laws accountable.”

Allowing non-citizens to vote in elections is a violation of the American people’s right to determine their future.

How did Orange County turn blue again in 2024 when President Trump shifted California red?

There was a massive red wave in California after President Trump carried the down ballot in the 2024 election.

Californians were so fed up with Democrat policies that led to rampant theft they voted in a 71-21 landslide in favor of Prop 36 to increase penalties for theft and drug trafficking.

However, Democrat congressional candidates somehow ousted GOP incumbents in Republican strongholds like Orange County.

The Democrat machine took congressional seats in Orange County, a conservative enclave in Southern California.

Democrat Derek Tran unseated Republican incumbent Michelle Steel in Orange County, California’s bright red District 45, more than 3 weeks after Election Day.

Democrat David Min defeated Republican Scott Baugh in Orange County’s bright red District 47 one week after Election Day.

The Gateway Pundit conducted an exclusive interview with Orange County Registrar of Voters, Bob Page one day after a bomb scare was emailed in and caused an evacuation.

TGP was also given access to Orange County’s ballot processing center and observed a very orderly, organized, and secure facility.

Bob Page was very accommodating and transparent and answered every question without hesitation so why is he allegedly refusing to hand over records related to ineligible voters?

Bob Page’s office responded to The Gateway Pundit’s request for comment on the lawsuit: “The County does not comment on pending or ongoing litigation.”
