Peggy Flanagan slams Angie Craig for Laken Riley Act vote

“Voting three days into the second Trump administration for Donald Trump’s immigration bill that allowed him to terrorize our communities, the loss of life, the economic impact, the trauma — it’s horrific,” Flanagan said of Craig during a Monday evening debate hosted by MPR News.

Craig addressed the vote again in a Monday interview with the Minnesota Reformer, as the two competitors vie to get the last word on the matter.

“My regret to give them a f***ing inch does drive my commitment to making sure that the Trump administration pays for what they’ve done,” Craig told the outlet. “I will spend the rest of my career ensuring that my immigrant neighbors are able to be part of the fabric of America.”

Both Flanagan and Craig have campaigned on reshaping how Immigration and Customs Enforcement operates in the U.S.

The two women are neck-and-neck in the primary, with polls yo-yoing between the candidates. Flanagan has caught heat during the primary over how Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) administration, of which she is lieutenant governor, has handled the fraud epidemic in the state.
