Evening Wire: Minneapolis Unravels & Senate Shutdown Staredown | 1.26.26

Walz's office, meanwhile, claimed that Trump agreed to looking into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement.

Evening Wire: Minneapolis Unravels & Senate Shutdown Staredown | 1.26.26

On Monday night, Fox News reported that some Border Patrol agents are expected to leave the city of Minneapolis.

Yes.

So one of the first things Abigail Spanberger did as governor was something she had promised for some time now, which was to end the state police cooperation with immigration and customs enforcement.

Now, this was something that Governor Glenn Youngkin signed last year when Trump took office.

to basically foster cooperation between the state police and the federal government when it came to those deportation efforts.

Now, this is largely due to the fact that there's a lot of district attorneys in Northern Virginia who disagree with a lot of the immigration policies of the Trump administration.

So what this essentially did was it allowed for another degree of cooperation between the federal and the state government in a way that might have been more difficult under previous leadership.

DOJ Probes Church Protesters & ‘Havana Syndrome’ Revelations | 1.20.26

Yes.

So one of the first things Attorney General Jay Jones did was issue a legal opinion in support of redistricting.

Morning Wire

Now, the Virginia General Assembly is looking at possibly putting up for a vote mid-decade redistricting like we've seen in California and Texas.

Morning Wire

Now, what this move would do is it would essentially take away

four GOP favorite seeds in the state of Virginia as we barrel toward the midterm election.

Morning Wire

Now, mid-decade redistricting has been very controversial, but obviously this legal opinion is one of the first steps toward potentially getting the ball rolling for getting Virginia voters to decide whether or not that will move forward in the November election.

Another thing that could potentially end up on the ballot, and we've seen this in Arizona and other states, would be a proposed constitutional amendment.

Morning Wire

to guarantee a right to an abortion in the state of Virginia.

Morning Wire

So that would be the first and foremost thing.

Morning Wire

But something to really pay close attention to is now that Democrats have a trifecta in the state, before there was tension between Youngkin and the Democrats in the General Assembly, now that there's a trifecta, we could see a whole host of liberal policies being able to make their way through more successfully under the Spanberger administration.

So

pay very close attention to what bills we could potentially see making their way through.
