The claim does not hold up. Governor Walz eloquently refuted it in a recent column in the Wall Street Journal. And I ask unanimous consent to enter it into the record.

Governor Walz wrote, and I quote, there's not a single documented cause case of the departments releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a smooth transfer of custody.
