Is Hennepin County Gov. Abbott's next target?

Quietly, Hennepin County is allegedly paying for the lodging of illegal immigrants at hotels in the Twin Cities Metro. According to Alpha News, "Hundreds of migrants are staying at 'shelter sites' across the Twin Cities metro. Having been sheltered in Minnesota for months, these migrants are largely families who are staying at various Minneapolis area hotels. Alpha News traveled to multiple shelter sites and talked with migrants and hotel staff on the ground."

The first logical question is whether Minneapolis will be the next destination for Gov. Abbott's migrant shipments. Since Minneapolis is acting like a sanctuary city, let's see how it'd handle the responsibility of being a sanctuary city.

Minneapolis isn't the only metro stopping place for migrants. According to Alpha's reporting, "At a La Quinta Inn and Suites in Brooklyn Park, dozens of rooms have been rented out to migrants for months. A manager of the hotel confirmed that Hennepin County is paying for the migrants to stay at the hotel. According to the manager, the hotel has been renting out 40 to 50 rooms for the last six months on the government’s dime."

Liz Collin's Report

If the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul want to act like sanctuary cities, then let's see them do that without any increases in their slush funds. Minnesotans are already paying for this through Minnesota's NGOs and NPOs.

Further, let's stop calling them NGOs, aka Non-Government Organizations, when they receive a significant portion of their funding from the Minnesota state budget. It's time to find a different name for these organizations.

Let's also put permanent rules on these organizations, too. If they're getting money from the government, they must report who's staying at their facilities. If they're getting taxpayers' money, they must report criminal migrants. If they fail to report that, they lose a significant portion of their payment. Taxpayers shouldn't be forced to support criminals. Period.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Minnesota loses another major business opportunity

Image
If I wsa advising Lisa Demuth's campaign, one of the first things I'd do at Friday night's debate is highlight how "a Minnesota-based company belonging to the Indian conglomerate Essar Group" is building "a major steel plant" in "southeast Iowa's Lee County." According to this Iowa Public Radio article , "President Donald Trump on Monday announced an $18 billion investment in a fully integrated American steel system, including a major steel plant coming to southeast Iowa's Lee County. The $15 billion plant will be built by Mesabi Metallics, a Minnesota-based company belonging to the Indian conglomerate Essar Group. The other $3 billion will help complete Mesabi’s new mine in Minnesota’s Iron Range, which will supply iron ore to the Iowa steel plant. Gov. Tim Walz insists that Minnesota is one of the best places to build a business or raise a family. This isn't Minnesota's initial embarrassment. In Sept, 2025, KARE11 repor...
