Tim Walz Pardons Derek Chauvin Sparks Outrage

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Sparks Outrage with Controversial Pardon of Former Officer Derek Chauvin

St. Paul, MN — May 15, 2025

In a shocking and highly controversial move, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has granted a full pardon to Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd. The decision, announced early this morning, has ignited immediate backlash from civil rights groups, lawmakers, and protesters across the nation.

Chauvin, who was sentenced to over 20 years in prison for kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes—an incident that sparked global protests against police brutality—was reportedly pardoned after what the governor’s office called 'new considerations and a thorough review of the case.'

Walz, a Democrat, defended the decision in a brief press conference, stating, 'After extensive deliberation and based on previously undisclosed evidence regarding the circumstances of that day, I believe this is a step toward healing and justice.' He did not provide further details on what new evidence prompted the pardon.

The announcement has drawn fierce condemnation. Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton called the pardon 'a disgrace to George Floyd’s memory and a slap in the face to every advocate for racial justice.' Meanwhile, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who prosecuted Chauvin’s case, released a statement expressing 'profound disappointment' and vowing to explore legal avenues to challenge the decision.

Protests erupted outside the Minnesota State Capitol within hours, with demonstrators chanting 'No justice, no peace!' and demanding Walz’s resignation. Political analysts suggest the move could have severe repercussions for the governor’s career, with some Democrats already calling for his censure.

As of now, Chauvin’s legal status remains unclear, with the Minnesota Department of Corrections yet to confirm his release. Legal experts warn that the unprecedented pardon could face court challenges, setting the stage for a prolonged legal and political battle.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
