The Minnesota House of Representatives 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 assaults on law enforcement and threats to lawmakers, resulting in over 1,500 charges, including 400 for violent crimes. It specifically criticizes the pardons issued on January 20, 2025, which erased the convictions of those who had violently attacked police officers, undermining the justice system and sending a dangerous message about the acceptability of violence against law enforcement.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the detrimental impact of these pardons on public safety and the morale of law enforcement officers, asserting that such actions devalue their sacrifices and service. The Minnesota House of Representatives firmly rejects any attempts to disregard judicial decisions and calls for accountability regarding the violent actions taken during the insurrection. The resolution will be transmitted to Governor Walz for acknowledgment.
