Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn, a Republican, was arrested this week on felony charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution, police said, after he allegedly tried to meet up with an officer who posed as a 17-year-old girl.

A Minnesota state Republican lawmaker who recently made headlines for wanting to make “Trump derangement syndrome” a mental illness is back in the news. GOP state Sen. Justin Eichorn was arrested Tuesday and charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution, officials said.

A bill that was introduced by Senate Republicans to define so-called "Trump derangement syndrome" as a mental illness has provoked a backlash, with some saying the bill trivializes mental health care in the state regardless of the seriousness of its original intent.
