ACLU-MN: Officials need to protect 'most vulnerable, impoverished, and marginalized Minnesotans' amid COVID-19 pandemic

ST. PAUL -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota is asking state officials to be sure in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic to take care of the state's inmate population and other marginalized Minnesotans.

In a Tuesday, March 17, letter to Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and others, ACLU-MN Executive Director John Gordon asked the state "to protect vulnerable populations, and to reduce the COVID-19 exposure of government officials, those in the care of our prisons and jails, and the entire state.”
