Minnesota Law Weekly | Episode 10: Gov. Walz Can’t Escape Judgment on Mask Mandates

The Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC) filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new Minnesota law that restricts free speech around election-related issues, including speech about the eligibility to vote in Minnesota elections.
