MODERATE

The bill was amended to add specific details regarding the negative impacts of immigration enforcement, including new statistics on school absenteeism in Minnesota and reports of civilian impersonation of ICE agents. It also added references to two specific fatal incidents involving ICE agents in early 2026 and expanded the description of detention conditions to include data on solitary confinement. These additions strengthen the resolution's argument for transparency and accountability in federal enforcement.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include specific case studies and statistical evidence supporting the need for transparency, rather than remaining a general statement of principles.
