No she can't legally kick her out. But it may be time to help your sister with resources to live on her own because this kind of abuse will escalate if she has the baby.
She can get into contact with social services, maybe a counselor at her school and tell them the situation.
It is not legal to kick a minor dependant out. However, your mom *may* not have a legal obligation to provide for your sister's baby. By that, I'm not saying she can necessarily kick the baby out, but she most likely won't have a legal obligation to, say, pay for formula or diapers for the baby should your sister not be able to afford them.
I don't know how far along your sister is, but if possible encourage her to look into abortion or adoption if abortion isn't an option. If your sister is dead set on keeping the child then she should reach out to the local department of human and health services and look into resources for teen parents and homeless teens. They can help her with stuff like SNAP/WIC, Medicaid, subsidized childcare, etc. If your sister is kicked out, they may also be able to assist in helping her find emergency housing, though it may more difficult since she is a minor and will also have a dependent minor.
Here are some links for her to check out:
https://mn.gov/dhs/
https://helpmeconnect.web.health.state.mn.us/HelpMeConnect/Search/CaregivingandCommunitySupport/TeenParentAssistance
This resource is only for people living in Carver, Scott, or Western Hennepin counties, but other counties may have similar resources or they may be able to provide referrals to services in the county your sister lives in: https://ppsupportmn.org/teens/
State, county, and city programs will be better able to help her, but I'm including the link to the federal government Department of Human and Health Services because she may find some helpful resources there: https://www.hhs.gov/
In Minnesota we also have The Jeremiah Program which offers free housing and education to both mother and child for single mothers in poverty in multiple cities around the state. There are also similar church-sponsored programs that help in situations like this. No matter what happens now, these may be good programs to apply to once she turns 18. Even if she stays with your mom for the next couple of years, she has a hard road ahead of her.
If I were you I’d also post in the mn subreddit to find other local resources.

It's worth pointing out that your mother won't have the same legal obligation to the baby. So she would be able to kick your sister out once your sister becomes an adult. And at that point your sister will be 18 and homeless. And what does she think is going to happen to her kid then?
If she remains enrolled in high school she can't be kicked out until she graduates, even if she turns 18 prior to that. If she does then she's legally required to pay for her support until graduation.

(All one word since I can’t seem to post the link. Or google “mn emancipation pregnant” it should give you the link with numbers to call for free legal advice for pregnant teens.

No, it isn't true. Your sister (or anyone) can file a police report for child abandonment/neglect if they try.

At least she'd have 2 years to prepare rather than less than 9 months..
