flag Republican Chris Madel withdraws from Minnesota governor race over Trump-era immigration policies, citing civil rights concerns and recent Border Patrol shootings.

flag Republican Chris Madel has withdrawn from the Minnesota gubernatorial race, citing moral objections to the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement actions, which he says target U.S. citizens—especially people of color—through warrantless raids and fear-inducing policies. flag His decision follows the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents, the second such incident in three weeks, and comes amid growing GOP internal dissent over the federal crackdown. flag Madel criticized the use of civil warrants, politicized investigations, and what he called a retributive campaign against Minnesotans, stating he could no longer support a party he believes has made statewide Republican victories nearly impossible. flag His exit leaves a competitive Republican field, while federal courts hear challenges to ICE operations and national figures like Tom Homan and Amy Klobuchar enter the political spotlight.
