The felony case could threaten the DFL senator’s career and the political balance of the Minnesota Senate, which her party controls by a single vote.

Jurors have found Democratic Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell guilty on both charges in her burglary trial.

Sen. Nicole Mitchell testified in her burglary trial on Thursday. Mitchell is charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools after she allegedly broke into her stepmom's home in 2024. The prosecution alleges this was a well-planned criminal act, while Mitchell's defense team paints her as a concerned stepdaughter trying to help her stepmom.
