# Executive Order 26-05 *Minnesota executive order, signed March 25, 2026, establishing a gubernatorial "Truth" council on two federal immigration operations.* Executive Order 26-05 is an executive order of the [[governor]] of [[Minnesota]], signed on March 25, 2026.[^1] The record summarizes it as the Governor's "Truth" Council on two federal immigration operations.[^1] The council is named a "Truth" council. The project's reading of the order's text, which its source states was verified against the primary PDF, reports that the order prints a verdict in its own preamble.[^2] The same reading reports that the order contains no recusal rule, no conflicts provision, no evidentiary-record requirement, and no appeal.[^2] Paragraph 8 of the order carves out by name three matters in live litigation, which the source identifies as the Good, Sosa-Celis, and Pretti matters.[^3] The record assembled here does not supply docket numbers, courts, filing dates, or present status for those matters. It also does not establish why the order was drafted in this form. The order sets reports due October 31, 2026 and December 1, 2026. It provides for dissolution on January 4, 2027, and the source cites Minn. Stat. §4.035 for that date.[^4] The same source places the order at the end of a sequence of Minnesota state and local acknowledgment documents.[^5] The sequence includes a 1919 "Suppression of Disloyalty" report and St. Paul's 2021 reparations resolution.[^5] It also includes a [[Minneapolis]] "Truth and Reconciliation" process. The source reports that this process spent $298,818 on two salaries and produced no report before it was renamed from "Commission" to "Process."[^5] The last earlier item is the 2023 [[University of Minnesota]] / [[Minnesota Indian Affairs Council]] [[TRUTH Project]] Final Report.[^5] ## In the Minnesota record ### What - Executive Order 26-05 establishes the Governor's "Truth" Council on two federal immigration operations.[^1] ### When - Signed March 25, 2026.[^1] - Reports are due October 31, 2026 and December 1, 2026.[^4] - Dissolution is set for January 4, 2027, and the source cites Minn.
