Lindell Breaks With Trump by Proposing Immigration Amnesty
Lindell says reports are wrong and says a temporary Minnesota license and same-day registration will let him vote for himself.
- On Thursday, Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell disputed claims that he is not registered to vote in the state, calling media reports about his registration status "fake news."
- The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Friday that Lindell maintains active voter registration in Texas, though he confirmed in a Tuesday interview with TPM that he has "places in both Texas and Minnesota."
- Minnesota is one of 24 states with automatic voter registration, and Lindell plans to utilize the state's same-day registration allowance to cast a ballot for himself if his status remains unclear.
- Separately, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate is proposing a six-month pause in deportations to allow undocumented Minnesota residents without criminal records to apply for what he calls "conditional work visas."
- President Donald Trump has prioritized expanded deportations and increased cooperation with ICE, creating tension with Lindell's proposal, as he acknowledged Trump may oppose the plan.
