- Minnesota AG Keith Ellison is suspending his office's Conviction Review Unit after the Trump administration's Justice Department denied renewal of the federal grant that funded it.
- The unit, created in 2020 and reviewing potential wrongful convictions since 2021, had previously received $300,000 and then $500,000 in federal grants.
- Ellison tied the funding cut to broader tensions with the Trump administration, which has pursued funding freezes and controversial enforcement actions in Minnesota that sparked protests.
