Ramadan Mubarak. Grateful to join so many neighbors this weekend to celebrate Iftar. This community has shown, time and again, what it means to look out for one another—especially during difficult moments in our city. Our city is better when we embrace our differences and care for one another.

Best city in the world.

Minneapolis makes decisions with data, not guesswork. From better services to smarter neighborhood investments, we use real info to guide our work. Proud to earn Bloomberg’s What Works Cities Silver Certification for putting data into action to support and serve our neighbors.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because women lead, organize, create, and push us to be better. Minneapolis is stronger because of the women who serve our city and community every day.

Our snowy, northern city now has a new sauna downtown. New businesses like beem Light Sauna bring energy to the Washington Avenue corridor, create jobs, and add more things to do in the heart of our city. Excited to celebrate another great addition to downtown Minneapolis!

Good riddance.

These are some of the true heroes of Minneapolis. Along Lake Street, small business owners and community members are delivering meals, supporting neighbors, and keeping their doors open during moments of uncertainty and fear. Their resilience & love for this city is what Minneapolis is all about.

The love and support from our community over the past few months have been a beacon of hope and the foundation for our economic recovery.

New traffic cameras in five speed zones are doing exactly what it was designed to do - slow drivers down and make dangerous intersections safer for all vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and road users. In just three months, our traffic camera pilot reports speeding rates have dropped by 51%.

For the 15th year, Minneapolis has surpassed $1 billion in construction value. These investments are showing up across our city — from affordable housing to culturally responsive health care. The message is clear: people want to live, work, raise families, and grow businesses in Minneapolis.

Three new skyway businesses in two weeks. That’s a downtown on the comeback. Congrats to Barra — a new speciality coffee shop on Nicollet Mall brewing up a great cup of coffee in the heart of our skyway system. Go see what the buzz is about.

A building reopened. A community strengthened. Today, we joined Red Lake Nation to celebrate the opening of Ombimindwaa Gidinawemaaganinaadog — a powerful new space for culture, ceremony, and healing. The City is proud to have partnered with our local Tribal leaders to make it happen.

The president once again attacked our city, targeting our Somali community members during the State of the Union address. The invasion of federal immigration agents will have lasting effects on our refugee and immigrant community and we stand by our neighbors.

Congrats to our 40 new MPD Community Service Officers and cadets. Choosing to serve right now — at a pivotal moment for our city — takes real courage and commitment. We’re stronger because of people who step up for their neighbors, and I’m grateful to each of you for answering that call.

What makes a city safer isn’t fear or force. It’s trust. It’s neighbors showing up for one another. Minneapolis did not bow. We did not break. We chose resolve over panic and love over hate. The forces of fear can never conquer a city that loves its neighbors more than it fears retribution.

Employers, help develop tomorrow’s workforce by hiring a Step Up intern this summer. Contact us by Feb. 28 to get started: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/government/programs-initiatives/step-up/employers/

The answer in Minneapolis is no — no abdication, no policy changes, no agreements other than the decision to end the operation itself. We stood firm in our love for our neighbors and we will continue to do so. www.startribune.com/is-minnesota...

Big welcome to Champa Cafe in the Minneapolis Skyway. They’re serving tea, coffee, and sweets — and bringing great energy to downtown. Small businesses like this are what make Minneapolis strong. Go check them out and show them some love.

The impact of Operation Metro Surge will be felt long after it ends. But Minneapolis takes care of one another. We’ll keep showing up and moving forward — side by side. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Our crews were out working hard today! Thanks to the team for keeping our streets and bike lanes clear.

I stopped by the newly opened House of Sambus on the Northside and got a lesson from an expert sambusa maker. Eedo Deka has rolled more than 1,000 sambusas in two days for iftar. I have a newfound respect for the process, & these might be my favorite sambusas yet. Happy Ramadan!

Excited to welcome a new skyway storefront and celebrate Dao, owner of Moon & Stars Children’s Boutique. Small businesses power our economy and bring downtown to life. Congrats, Dao — and thank you for sharing your passion and talent with our city.

Minneapolis police and firefighters responded Tuesday evening to a report of a fire at the Renee Good’s memorial site. We are grateful to the person who put out the fire before the first responders arrived. While there were no injuries, several items at the memorial were damaged.

Thank you, Minneapolis — for showing out, standing up, and loving our city and neighbors.

I was sad to learn of the passing of a giant in the fight for justice, equality, and human dignity, Reverend Jess Jackson. His commitment to civil rights shaped our nation, and his spirit will continue to inspire generations. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

As Ramadan begins, alongside Lunar New Year and Fat Tuesday, we’re reminded how beautifully diverse our city is. However you’re marking the day, I hope you’re surrounded by love. Minneapolis has been through a lot — moments like this remind us what matters most: community and care for each other.

If you’ve got nothing to hide, then don’t hide. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The damage caused by Operation Metro Surge doesn’t disappear just because it’s ending. Families were torn apart. Small businesses lost millions. Students’ learning was disrupted. We’re focused on supporting our neighbors and small businesses as we move forward. They need us more than ever.

Big numbers. Big impact. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the effects of Operation Metro Surge. What can you do? Support businesses. Donate. Volunteer for a grocery run. As Assistant Chief Gaiters said today, we're Minneapolis Strong.

One month. $203 million in impact. Thousands of Minneapolis families hurting. In just 30 days, Operation Metro Surge has resulted in: $47M in lost wages • $81M in small business losses • 76,200 people facing food insecurity • 8,700+ children needing mental health support

The City did not make deals or concessions with the federal government or ICE to end Operation Metro Surge. We are committed to our separation ordinance. MPD & the City don't participate in federal civil immigration enforcement or help ICE with civil immigration enforcement investigations.

We’ll believe Operation Metro Surge is coming to an end when we see it, but let’s give it up for the people of Minneapolis and everyone who has stood with them. You are great neighbors and great Americans.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with NYC Mayor Mamdani about the reality local governments are facing. When federal government targets immigrant communities, it’s cities that feel it first — and cities that step up. We’re building a coalition of mayors ready to lead.

They thought they could break us, but a love for our neighbors and a resolve to endure can outlast an occupation. These patriots of Minneapolis are showing that it’s not just about resistance — standing with our neighbors is deeply American.

From food and shelter to legal support, our City’s resource centers are there to help our neighbors who’ve been impacted by Operation Metro Surge. If you need help, it’s there for you. We’ll keep showing up for each other. www.kare11.com/article/news...

If the goal were truly public safety, the numbers would look very different. Minneapolis won’t be silent while enforcement actions target innocent families. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

Looking for a way to support? Many local organizations are actively supporting people affected by current federal enforcement activity and related disruptions. See the non-exhaustive, trusted list of organizations for ways to donate: https://tr.ee/EVTU1x

In the middle of darkness, Minneapolis always shows its light. Last night’s Luminary Loppet was no different. Great to see so many of our neighbors out, being with community.

Thousands showed up to remember and honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Minneapolis is with you — and we will keep spreading love.

The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

Got a second Chief of Staff with me this morning.

Our local businesses are getting rocked by ICE right now—losing an estimated $10–$20 million every single week. Operation Metro Surge isn’t helping our community. It’s hurting our residents, their livelihoods, and the small businesses we all love. www.startribune.com/ice-economic...

Black History Month is a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate the Black leaders, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs who have shaped Minneapolis and make our city better every day. I’m grateful for the chance to keep working together for our city and the people who call it home!

2,000 federal agents isn’t a de-escalation. My ask remains: Operation Metro Surge needs to end.

In addition to tearing families apart and terrorizing our neighborhoods, this massive ICE presence has also been horrible for Minneapolis businesses. We need ICE to leave so our economy can get reignited.

Spent time at 24 Mall connecting with neighbors and hearing what people need right now. The city is here to help with mental health support, food, housing and rental assistance, legal help, and small business support. We’re showing up and taking action.

Welcome home, Liam! We’re so glad you’re back.

We will always stand with all immigrant and refugee communities who make Minneapolis vibrant, diverse and full of life. We work every day to ensure Minneapolis is a welcoming place for all. Remember, everyone has rights regardless of immigration status. Find more: minneapolismn.gov/oira

We're disappointed in the denial of a preliminary injunction to end Operation Metro Surge, but today's decision is just one step in the lawsuit. The City will continue to pursue the lawsuit to hold the Trump administration to account.
