Justin Eichorn

Justin David Eichorn of Grand Rapids, Itasca County, Minnesota, United States has been a member of the Minnesota Senate since January 3, 2017. He is a Republican.

On May 7, 2024, Eichorn turned 40. He is a father of four.

On March 17, 2025, Eichorn was arrested near the 8300 block of Normandale Boulevard in Bloomington, Hennepin County, Minnesota. He is accused of arranging to meet up with someone he thought was a girl aged 16 for sex.

Unbeknownst to Eichorn, he was communicating with a detective posing as a 16-year-old girl. When he arrived at the location where he expected to meet a teenage girl, he was met by Bloomington Police Department officers.

Eichorn has yet to be formally charged. Felony charges of soliciting a minor to practice prostitution are pending from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Also on March 17, 2025, five Republican legislators introduced SF 2589, a bill that proposes to classify Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness in Minnesota and incorporate it into the state’s legal definition through amended statutes. The authors are Eichorn and his fellow Minnesota senators Eric Lucero, Glenn H. Gruenhagen, Nathan Wesenberg and Steve Drazkowski.

According to the bill, the syndrome is the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of 47th U.S. president Donald J. Trump. The term should be recognized in legal and medical contexts, the bill proposed.

In addition, the bill states that the symptoms may include general hysteria induced by Trump, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in his behavior. This can manifest as intense verbal hostility toward him and overt acts of aggression and violence towards him and his supporters, the authors asserted.
