The Minnesota Senate has passed a resolution condemning President Trump's pardon of individuals convicted of violent crimes related to the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The resolution highlights the violent actions of the mob that day, which included vandalism, threats to lawmakers, and assaults on law enforcement, resulting in over 1,500 charges, including 400 for violent crimes. It specifically criticizes the pardons issued by Trump on January 20, 2025, which erased the convictions of those who had violently attacked police officers, undermining the justice system and sending a harmful message about the treatment of law enforcement.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the negative impact of these pardons on public safety and law enforcement morale, asserting that they devalue the sacrifices made by officers to protect the Capitol and the nation. The Minnesota Senate calls for a rejection of any attempts to disregard judicial decisions and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and transmit a copy of the resolution to Governor Tim Walz.
