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 harmful message about the value of law enforcement.

The resolution emphasizes the detrimental impact of these pardons on public safety and law enforcement morale, asserting that they devalue the sacrifices made by Capitol police and other officers. It calls for a rejection of any attempts to disregard judicial decisions and directs the Chief Clerk of the House to prepare an authenticated copy of the resolution for transmission to Governor Walz.
