Posts online claim 130,000 people without legal immigration status live in Minnesota, compared with 2.1 million in Texas and 1.6 million in Florida. That's mostly true. Here's what the data show.
Snopes.com fact-checked the claim that there are significantly fewer undocumented immigrants in Minnesota compared to Texas and Florida. According to 2023 data from the Pew Research Center, there are approximately 130,000 undocumented immigrants in Minnesota, 1.6 million in Florida, and 2.1 million in Texas. These figures are based on credible population estimates but are likely undercounts due to underreporting. The data does not reflect the most recent conditions but is the most recent available.
