Tim Walz’s Trans Sanctuary State Law Means Government Can Take Your Kids

Instead of protecting vulnerable children, he’s helping predators steal them

Under Gov. Tim Walz, Democrats have turned moderate Minnesota into California with a smaller budget—but just as much insanity.

Walz orchestrated the transgender activists’ transformation of Minnesota into a so-called “transgender sanctuary state” in just over a month with a series of fundamental changes to state law giving government terrifying control over your kids. And if you don’t think he’s planning to push similar legislation in the Oval Office, think again.

In March 2023, Walz signed an executive order declaring Minnesota a center for “LGBTQIA+” ideology and ordering all state agencies to “pursue opportunities and coordinate with each other to protect people . . . obtaining gender affirming health care services in Minnesota.” He also barred law enforcement from extraditing criminals charged in other states with illegally experimenting on minors with sex change operations, puberty blockers, and other dangerous procedures—like neighboring Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota.

Some states protect children by authorizing courts to take custody of kids whose parents allow such sex change operations on them.

Minnesota Democrats followed swiftly in April with a bill (HF 146) that does the opposite—authorizing courts to take temporary emergency jurisdiction over a child who “has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care.”

In other words, Walz and his far-left allies granted the state of Minnesota the authority to seize custody of kids whose parents won’t let insane ideologues perform permanent, body-altering surgeries—the kind that will devastate their health and guarantee a lifetime spent in and out of hospitals.

Read the law for yourself:

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518D.204, is amended to read:

518D.204 TEMPORARY EMERGENCY JURISDICTION.

(a) A court of this state has temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child is present in this state and:

(1) the child has been abandoned or;

(2) it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child, is subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse; or

(3) the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care as defined in section 543.23, paragraph (b).

Hiding Behind a Lie

And destroying lives is exactly the point.

The Left thrives on broken people and alienated families because they’re manipulable. It’s why radicals always stress the word “community” when talking about the “LGBT community”—a hollow replacement for genuine community they can exploit for political purposes.

Walz has been hailed as “one of the most prominent champions for transgender rights and gender-affirming care” for caving to the demands of the far Left despite his moderate, “folksy” demeanor. He signed a bill into law requiring tampons be placed in boys’ restrooms in schools for grade 4–12—something only a weasel who puts LGBT ideology over truth and mental health could support.

Nor can they point to science to back up their fanatical claims. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons in July became the first major medical association to back away from supporting hormonal treatment for teenagers experiencing gender dysphoria, saying the “existing evidence base” supporting such treatments “is viewed as low quality/low certainty.”

Walz is also a close ally of the teachers unions most responsible for shutting down schools during COVID and pushing gender weirdness in classrooms. How many parents of public schoolchildren have suddenly discovered their little boys calling themselves girls and demanding hormone therapy and puberty blockers because their teacher says they’re actually female?

This is the entire purpose of Walz’s Transgender Sanctuary law—to undermine families and steal away innocent children forever, converting them into damaged wards of the state.

End the madness—keep these monsters out of the White House.
