In a contentious special session, the Minnesota Legislature voted to repeal MinnesotaCare for undocumented adult immigrants as part of a broader budget agreement. Lawmakers worked overnight to finalize a $66 billion budget, which narrowly averted a government shutdown. The decision to strip public health insurance from undocumented individuals was met with criticism, as it removes vital health care access for those who entered the U.S. illegally. Governor Tim Walz’s administration now faces the challenge of implementing these changes, while the legislative body completed its agenda amid pressing deadlines.
