Mitchell was arrested last month and charged with burglarizing her stepmother’s home in Detroit Lakes.

DFL President Ken Martin called for her to resign in this statement released Thursday morning:
The Minnesota DFL believes that all elected officials should be held accountable, including members of our own party. While Senator Mitchell is entitled to her day in court, her continued refusal to take responsibility for her actions is beneath her office and has become a distraction to her district and the Legislature. Now that her constituents have been fully represented until the end of the term, it is time for her to step down and focus on the personal and legal challenges she faces.
Mitchell was removed from her committee assignments and caucus meetings shortly after the charges were filed, but she nevertheless retained her seat efforts by Republican lawmakers to deport her.
