Comprehensive List of Minnesota Officials Meeting the Threshold for Accountability
Based on public exposures, leaks, and documented involvement in anti-ICE networks—such as organizing “ICE Watch” patrols, participating in Signal group dispatch for interference with federal operations, joining disruptive protests, or aiding mutual aid funds that support obstruction—the following officials have met the threshold for potential prosecution, removal, or disqualification. This threshold is defined by evidence of oath violations, potential seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384), malfeasance/misfeasance (Minn. Stat. Chapter 351), or aiding rebellion under the 14th Amendment Section 3.
This list draws from citizen investigations (e.g., SignalGate leaks), media reports on protests and lawsuits, and official actions undermining federal enforcement. It includes elected officials and state employees from the DFL party, as no Republican involvement has surfaced in these specific anti-ICE coordination efforts. Inclusion here is based on reported actions that appear to cross legal lines; formal adjudication is required.
Elected Officials:
• Governor Tim Walz: Requested Minnesota National Guard to assist local police amid anti-ICE protests, potentially prioritizing state resistance over federal cooperation. Involved in broader sanctuary policies contributing to assaults on ICE officers.
• Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan: Allegedly central in organizing seditious conspiracy via Signal chats and donor networks tied to “Stand with Minnesota.” Ties to protest coordination and foreign fundraising.
• Attorney General Keith Ellison: Led lawsuit with Minneapolis and St. Paul to halt ICE’s “Operation Metro Surge,” directly challenging federal authority.
• State Representative Alex Falconer: Ran “ICE Watch” networks, signing activists for shifts to monitor and interfere with ICE; bragged publicly about the network.
• State Representative Brad Tabke: Coordinated “ICE Watch” patrols, limiting shifts to three per week while encouraging tailing of federal agents.
• State Representative Athena Hollins: Participated in riots interfering with ICE, including events leading to pepper-spraying.
• State Representative Liish Kozlowski: Joined anti-ICE riots and disruptions.
• Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez (Ward 9): Publicly called for “people patrolling the streets now” to counter ICE.
• Minneapolis City Council Member Robin Wonsley (Ward 2): Supported harboring efforts and anti-ICE coordination.
• Mayor Jacob Frey (Minneapolis): Joined AG Ellison in lawsuit to stop ICE surge, enabling city-level resistance.
• Mayor Melvin Carter (St. Paul): Co-plaintiff in lawsuit against ICE operations.
• State Senate Candidate Anita Smithson: Served as dispatcher in anti-ICE Signal groups.
• Minneapolis Politician David Snyder: Administered Signal groups for tracking and harassing ICE.
State Employees and Aides:
• Amanda Koehler (Walz Campaign Strategist): Organized doxxing and disruptions as a protest coordinator.
• Top Walz Aides (Unnamed in Leaks): Ran anti-ICE Signal chats, encouraging violent opposition to federal agents.
• Other State Employees in Signal Networks: Various aides and staffers linked to donor lists and patrol coordination, potentially including those in the Governor’s office or AG’s office involved in the anti-ICE lawsuit.
This list is not exhaustive, as ongoing leaks (e.g., SignalGate donor spreadsheets) may reveal more. Faith leaders and nonprofits (e.g., over 100 clergy arrested at protests) may also face IRS reviews, but this focuses on officials. Elected officials of all parties: Use the roadmap below to file immediately—voters will remember inaction.
Sample Template: Articles of Impeachment Against Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan
Below is a professional template for Articles of Impeachment, tailored for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan based on evidence of her alleged role in organizing anti-ICE interference. This can be adapted and filed by any Minnesota House member under Article VIII of the Minnesota Constitution. It supports successful prosecution by citing specific laws, precedents, and evidence, positioning it for a strong case in the House (majority vote to impeach) and Senate (two-thirds to convict). No waiting is needed—draft, introduce, and vote.

Articles of Impeachment Exhibited by the House of Representatives Against Peggy Flanagan, Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota
Article I: Violation of Oath of Office and Malfeasance
Peggy Flanagan, while serving as Lieutenant Governor, violated her oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Minnesota by organizing and participating in networks that obstructed federal law enforcement operations under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Specifically:
• Evidence from SignalGate leaks shows Flanagan as a key organizer in Signal chats coordinating “ICE Watch” patrols and mutual aid funds via “Stand with Minnesota,” which directed donors to foreign-linked campaigns for anti-ICE activities.
• These actions constitute malfeasance under Minn. Stat. § 351.02 (willful neglect or refusal to perform duties) and aid rebellion under the 14th Amendment Section 3.
• Precedent: Post-Civil War disqualifications for aiding rebellion; recent Minnesota impeachment efforts against Gov. Walz for similar policy failures.
Wherefore, Peggy Flanagan is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office and disqualified from future public service.
Article II: Seditious Conspiracy
Peggy Flanagan conspired with others to oppose federal authority by force or obstruction, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2384 (seditious conspiracy, punishable by up to 20 years). Specifically:
• Leaks reveal her ties to groups dispatching activists to interfere with ICE, leading to assaults on officers (1,347% increase reported).
• This mirrors Jan. 6 convictions for organized interference with government functions.
Wherefore, Peggy Flanagan is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.
Article III: Aiding and Abetting Obstruction of Justice
Peggy Flanagan aided networks that disrupted ICE operations, including protests causing school and business closures, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 73 (obstruction). Specifically:
• Involvement in donor lists funding resistance, tied to events like the January 2026 church disruption and general strike.
• Precedent: Clergy and activists arrested for similar interference; federal warnings against aiding obstruction.
Wherefore, Peggy Flanagan is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.
