I think this was back in June 2025 during a Minnesota House session video where she stated her family "broke the law" to enter the U.S., but she immediately clarified she is a U.S. citizen, having arrived legally as a 4-year-old refugee from Laos in the 1970s.
St. Paul really looked at someone who’s in the country illegally and said “yeah, she should definitely be in charge of our laws and budget.” The cognitive dissonance is breathtaking.
