Walz administration awarded $100,000 contract to pro-defund police group

Gov. Tim Walz‘s (D-MN) administration approved a $100,000 contract to a left-wing group that has advocated defunding the police, documents show.

The documents, unearthed by the Daily Caller, show that Walz’s Labor And Industry Department in 2023 awarded the contract to Centro De Trabajadores Unidos En La Lucha, a Minneapolis-based group. Centro De Trabajadores Unidos En La Lucha, a workers-rights group that aims to “build a movement to win racial, gender and economic justice,” was awarded the state funds to “increase worker knowledge and understanding” of a new law that Walz approved, a press release shows.
