Download America First Minnesota Summary

Minnesota’s rich heritage, marked by its lakes, rivers, and historic Twin Cities, has long established itself as a pillar of American growth and innovation. However, in recent years, Minnesotans have faced rising crime, increasing taxes, and a decline in trust in public institutions. The state now faces a crossroads between continued chaos and a return to commonsense leadership.

The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) has launched its Minnesota state chapter (AFPI-MN) to end the dysfunction and restore the values that built the state. Guided by the America First Agenda, AFPI-MN is committed to lowering Minnesota’s cost of living and revitalizing the state’s economy, restoring fiscal responsibility and reforming state and local taxes, restoring order and peace to Minnesota communities, combating fraud, waste, and abuse, and protecting Minnesotans by enforcing immigration laws.

AFPI-MN stands at the forefront, leading the charge to build a future that is stronger, safer, and more prosperous for every Minnesotan.

Every acre of this land could potentially be used as a platform for surveillance or sabotage. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime has openly promised to overtake us as the world’s superpower by all means at its disposal, and has already used American land to undermine our national security.

Congress Must Act to Prevent Sanctuary Jurisdictions from Harboring Criminal Illegal Aliens

To keep the American people safe and preserve our nation’s sovereignty, state and local governments have a powerful role to play in realigning the current incentive structure to deter illegal immigration and empower federal law enforcement.
