Federal prosecutors are asking a court to rescind its pending decision to release former Minnesota Sen. Justin Eichorn to a halfway house this week after learning he allegedly lied about having access to firearms and attempted to prevent authorities from examining a laptop computer.

After a Minnesota state senator resigned this week over allegations he sought sex from a minor, candidates are announcing their intentions to run for his vacant seat.

Jennifer Carnahan, the former chairwoman of the Republican Party of Minnesota, has announced that she is running for Justin Eichorn's seat in Senate District 6.
