It’s interesting how criminals in government attack the law that guards our liberty and then violate the law against their neighbors. Exhibit A is Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell, who has advocated against the Second Amendment. She was recently arrested for burglary.
CBS 12 reports:
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (TND) — A Minnesota lawmaker was arrested for alleged burglary Monday, less than a week after she advocated for safer communities at the state’s Capitol building.
Detroit Lakes officers booked State Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, for first-degree burglary, according to local jail records. Police found the senator inside a Detroit Lakes home around 4:45 a.m. after the homeowner reported a burglary, according to FOX9.
State Sen. Mitchell joined Moms Demand Action Tuesday, an organization supporting restrictions on gun ownership, to promote solutions for gun violence. The lawmaker later touted the group’s visit to Minneapolis.
“Meaningful conversation today with @MomsDemand community members advocating for common sense gun reform & safer communities at #mnleg–as well as providing Minnesotans the mental health services they need to #EndGunViolence in our neighborhoods,” State Sen. Mitchell posted on X.
The lawmaker also previously worked with Moms Demand Action to promote limitations on gun ownership. In January, she promoted Minnesota’s “red flag” law, which restricts people posing a serious risk to themselves or others from having a firearm.

State Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, R-East Grand Forks, told the Star Tribune he was shocked by the arrest.
“The public expects Legislators to meet a high standard of conduct,” Johnson said. “As information comes out, we expect the consequences to meet the actions, both in the court of law, and in her role at the legislature.”
