Pam Altendorf, a Minnesota state legislator, shared several updates on her X (formerly Twitter) account on November 12, 2025. Her posts ranged from encouraging Minnesotans to observe the Northern Lights to raising questions about recent state policy changes and law enforcement actions.

In a post published at 03:17 UTC, Altendorf urged her followers to take a moment outdoors: "Stop what you’re doing right now and walk outside and look up at the Northern Lights…..!!!!"

Later that day, at 20:51 UTC, she highlighted an interview related to cannabis legislation in Minnesota. She wrote: "WATCH this Interview! Did you know the MN Democrats prioritized legalizing recreational marijuana in Minnesota in 2023 under the Democrat trifecta….!? HOW is this going….!? 2023 - Fully Legalized Bill turned into an “Adult Use Cannabis Bill” Bill mentioned"

In her final post of the day at 22:25 UTC, Altendorf reported on immigration enforcement activity involving a Liberian national: "MN News ICE arrests dangerous illegal immigrant from Liberia. Jebah Doe, has been convicted of first degree aggravated robbery in @BrooklynPark and receiving stolen property along with possess ammo/and firearm in @EdinaMN. We are grateful to ICE for working to keep MN safe!"

Minnesota lawmakers passed legislation in 2023 legalizing recreational marijuana use for adults under Democratic leadership. The new law reclassified cannabis possession and established regulatory frameworks for its sale and distribution across the state.

Immigration enforcement actions such as those referenced by Altendorf continue to be part of federal-state cooperation efforts aimed at addressing criminal activity among non-citizens.
