Stopped by Pow Wow Grounds this afternoon. The Native community is gathering resources, holding ceremony, and taking care of one another. Every night, the pantry is cleared out as neighbors step up for neighbors. This is Minneapolis.

When the fed gov weaponizes its power to try to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned. We shouldn't have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Dr. King said it best. On MLK Day, I’m thinking about his call to stand up for justice, love others, and speak out when power goes too far. As the federal gov moves in the opposite direction, Minneapolis will keep standing with our neighbors.

There’s no city that loves like Minneapolis. We will continue to show up for our neighbors.

We urge community members to continue to be peaceful and lawful in the presence of federal immigration agents. As this is a federal court order, we expect the federal administration to change course and comply for the safety of all.

We applaud the court’s decision in the ACLU’s lawsuit, which prohibits federal immigration agents from targeting or retaliating against those peacefully and lawfully protesting or observing Operation Metro Surge operations.

This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, our local law enforcement, and our residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our streets. I will not be intimidated. My focus will remain where it’s always been: keeping our city safe.

There’s a lot happening in Minneapolis right now. Even in uncertain times, our city remains open, resilient, and connected. Let’s continue to support our neighbors, local businesses and the community that makes Minneapolis great.

Today, I joined Minnesota leaders in front of Congressional members to share the impacts ICE actions have had on our neighbors. Democrat or Republican, we should all be speaking out against unconstitutional federal actions in our communities.

The federal government is looking for any opportunity to further escalate the crisis we’re facing right now, and the City continues to urge protesters and observers to respond by showing the world the welcoming, unified, and loving values that define Minneapolis.

Contrary to federal rhetoric, Mayor Frey and other City leaders have consistently called for peace and calm as our community confronts the incursion of federal agents sowing chaos in our streets.

Minnesota needs ICE to leave, not an escalation that brings additional federal troops beyond the 3,000 already here. My priority is keeping local law enforcement focused on public safety, not diverted by federal overreach. www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...

Tonight a man was shot in the leg by an ICE agent on the Northside. No matter what led up to this incident, the situation we are seeing in our city is not sustainable.

Cutting off funding for our most vulnerable families and children because the states they live in don’t agree with your values is un-American. www.fox9.com/news/preside...

We, along with the State and City of St. Paul, are suing the Trump Administration to end its unconstitutional and dangerous “Operation Metro Surge”, which is creating chaos, degrading safety and violating civil rights in our city. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3NHluDd

We’re suing the federal government to end its unconstitutional and dangerous immigration enforcement presence in Minneapolis – marked by excessive force and racial profiling. We aim to restore order; not block immigration enforcement. www.minneapolismn.gov/federal

Recent reports of ICE activity include detaining or arresting U.S. citizens. If this happens to you or someone you know, learn about your rights, how to report what happened, and where to get help. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4qlTdkn

I was out on Lake Street yesterday and am inspired by the people of Minneapolis. Hang strong everybody.

These prosecutors are heroes, and the people pushing to prosecute Renee's widow are monsters. In their pursuit of cruelty, the administration also just set back the work of fighting fraud by pushing out the prosecutors who were working on those cases. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

We’re suing the Trump admin for their unconstitutional attacks on our neighbors. They’re not pro-business or pro-safety. Their actions are purely political — and Minneapolis and our partners are done with it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Shout out to the thousands who protested peacefully across Minneapolis yesterday. We had a calm night with very few issues. The Trump administration wants chaos to be met with chaos—but we won’t give it to them.

Today is a good day for ICE to get out of Minnesota.

Read updates on protests and plans for the weekend in our news release: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/january/protest-update/

Minneapolis leaders provided an update on overnight protests – emphasizing that the vast majority of community members have demonstrated peacefully. Officials also reiterated the consequences of unlawful actions. Read more: www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/january/protest-update/

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

If the Trump admin has nothing to hide from, then don’t hide from it. Include the BCA and our local experts in the investigation of the death of Renee Nicole Good. Minneapolis wants justice — and we want the truth.

Let's call a spade a spade: Kristi Noem watched the videos and doesn't want an impartial investigation because she knows her narrative about domestic terrorism is bullshit. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The Trump admin will tell you ICE is here for safety. That is a lie. They are creating chaos and danger while tearing families apart. Enough. We want them out.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.

The Trump administration’s ICE deployment isn’t about solving crime or preventing fraud, it’s about causing chaos and terrorizing our neighbors. And Minneapolis won’t have it.

At 11 a.m. today, Jan. 5, the Mayor, all 13 City Council members, Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board members and Board of Estimate & Taxation members are sworn into office. Watch a livestream of the inauguration ceremony at https://www.youtube.com/live/JB86anOCbaQ.

Happy New Year, MPLS! 2026 is going to be a good one.

2025 was a major year for Minneapolis. We built more housing. We reduced homelessness. We hired more officers. We made downtown hum again. We didn’t just plan—we delivered. And we’re heading into 2026 stronger because of it.

Huge thanks to our Public Works plow crews working around the clock to keep Minneapolis moving through all this snow! We’ve declared a Snow Emergency—please follow parking rules so crews can do their jobs, keep roads clear, and help everyone get where they need to go safely.

Good luck to Gopher Hockey Coach Bob Motzko and the 7 Minnesotans on Team USA as they begin their quest for a third straight gold medal at the World Junior Championships. Looking forward to the games at our very own Mariucci arena! www.startribune.com/world-junior...

Merry Christmas, Minneapolis! Hope your holiday is filled with a lot of bear snuggles and love.

Thank you to Attorney General Ellison for fighting to make our streets safer. Because of your work, Kia and Hyundai are taking concrete steps to address vehicle theft. This is one important tool in the toolbox—and a big step forward.

The Trump administration's anti-immigrant agenda is creating an atmosphere of fear that is devastating Minneapolis small businesses. Today we're not just reaffirming our commitment to immigrant communities, but asking you to go out and support immigrant-owned businesses.

Tonight, millions of Jewish people begin Hanukkah. At the same time, an alarming rise in antisemitism is being felt by Jewish communities around the world — and especially in Australia right now.

This plan reflects the voices of thousands, and today we took a major step forward. Starting next year, we’ll begin creating a community-centered space that honors George Floyd, uplifts nearby businesses, and improves how people move through the area. www.kare11.com/article/news...

The agents handcuffed the man, took him across 4th Street and pushed him onto his knees in the snow. One put him in a choke hold. “I have my ID!” he shouted repeatedly, as heard on video. The agents do not respond.

Thank you, @governorwalz.mn.gov, for standing up for immigrant communities. What’s been happening is unacceptable and our neighbors deserve far better from their federal government. www.fox9.com/news/gov-wal...

Mubashir is an American citizen who has lived in Minneapolis nearly his entire life. Yesterday, he was tackled, handcuffed, and taken into federal custody while walking in his own neighborhood. The reason? He’s Somali.

In Minneapolis, our immigrant neighbors aren’t just part of the community — they are the community. They’re our friends, our family, and a huge part of what makes this city so great.

Meet the new E Line: one-seat, faster service connecting Dinkytown, Downtown, and Uptown. Better access to games, jobs, shops, and some of the city’s best destinations. Thanks to City staff, Hennepin County, and Metro Transit for making it happen. 📷: Metro Transit

When you come for one of us, you come for all of us. We stand with our immigrant neighbors.

We will have no part of this administration's anti-immigrant agenda. City parking lots must be used for city purposes, not for staging immigration enforcement operations. www.fox9.com/news/ice-res...

Minneapolis is proud to be home to the largest Somali community in the country. They are our neighbors, our friends, and our family — and they are welcome in our city. Nothing Donald Trump does will ever change that.

Winterapolis is officially here, and we’re celebrating everything that makes Minneapolis a true winter city. With events and activities all season long, grab your family, friends, and mittens and get out to enjoy it. www.kare11.com/article/news...
