We identified 273 individuals with valid work permits who were arrested during Operation Metro Surge. That number is almost certainly an undercount.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued a nationwide arrest warrant on Monday for the ICE agent who allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and then lied about the circumstances that led to the shooting.

Once again, Republicans have chosen the gun lobby over the safety and lives of Minnesotans. We aren’t done fighting. Not at all. But every Minnesotan deserves to know that every Republican just blocked comprehensive gun safety legislation.

It’s Bike to Work Day tomorrow May 15! Weather will be beautiful, so is an extra great chance to give biking a try! Join us at Government Center Plaza (3rd Ave S and 5th St) from 7-9am for coffee, donuts, and celebration speeches at 8:15.

Biking to work is great for the body, mind, and wallet! And with Minneapolis working every year on our cycling infrastructure, it's safer, more comfortable, and more feasible than ever before. This Bike-to-Work Week is the perfect time to start a new habit: www.startribune.com/its-bike-to-...

Always love going to one of our Hennepin Ave historic theaters! Tonight at the Orpheum.

Big crowd for Kenilworth/Cedar Lake Trail re-opening celebration!

The Twin Cities' Blue Line will be shut down this weekend and for two months later this summer 😞 ...for public transit improvements 😄

🚨APPALLING: Minnesota Republicans are literally hiding legislation in a desk drawer to prevent it from coming up for a vote. One of Speaker Lisa Demuth's deputies just admitted that he was "instructed not to report" a bill banning assault weapons/high-capacity magazines the Senate already passed.

Kenilworth & Southwest LRT trail celebration Saturday (May 9)! 11am ribbon cutting at West Lake Station I’ll be out tabling with City staff. Come say hi! www.metrotransit.org/open-trails?...

Now, after the official end of the surge, and a drop in the number of statewide immigration arrests, Aviles said people ask him if things are better: “I say, ‘Yes, in a way. But the damage was already done.’” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Worth noting that this *never* used to happen and now it's normal. sahanjournal.com/climate-envi...

For decades we’ve had school shootings and seen government do nothing. I’m proud that today we passed my bill to ban assault weapons for the first time in MN history. We can never bring back Harper & Fletcher, but today we can say we did all we could to make sure no family endures this ever again.

Hennepin County + Minneapolis are planning major improvements to Cedar Ave (Lake St to 42nd St) to boost safety & mobility for all users. The full reconstruction will upgrade pavement, drainage, signals, bus stops, sidewalks & pedestrian ramps. Construction starts Spring 2028.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.

This summer, street and infrastructure improvements will begin around George Floyd Square. Learn more by attending an open house on April 13 (virtual) or April 14 (in person). More details: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/government/projects/38th-chicago-ave/#d.en.136446

It’s day 119 of the ICE occupation of MN. Rent is due Wednesday - so many neighbors are still trying to get back on their feet after more than three months in hiding. Please give if you can StandWithMinnesota.org

The fight is focused on three shootings. But Moriarty’s office has opened criminal investigations into 14 additional cases of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents during Operation Metro Surge, which started in early December and has wound down over the past few weeks.

Another important detail is 35% of the arrests were "collateral" rather than targeted. That means these are folks that federal agents swept up at bus stops and sidewalks as they roved the streets. That jibes with anecdotes but doesn't factor for all the "collateral" people caught and released. (3)

Federal officials said in public statements during the surge that they were targeting the "worst of the worst." The new data shows that fewer than a quarter of those arrested in Minnesota had a criminal conviction on their record. The vast majority were arrested for civil immigration violations. (2)

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)

Metro Transit seeks feedback on possible new fare structure for express bus services: a flat $3 fee instead of $2.50-$3.25 variable pricing, with $1 as the discounted youth rate up to age 18 (not 12). www.twincities.com/2026/03/30/m...

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE: "When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

Quentin Williams says he felt like he was moments from death after several Border Patrol agents piled on top of him and choked him on Jan. 7 while pursuing someone else. Written by @bzosiad.bsky.social

Organizers estimate more than 200,000 people attended the flagship #NoKings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, possibly setting a record for the largest single-day protest in state history. 📷️: Renee Jones Schneider

Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

NEW: ICE detained DACA recipient Juan Chavez Velasco 12 days after his youngest child was born prematurely. The father of 3 U.S. citizen kids was driving to deliver milk to her in NICU "I never got to hold her" Juan told me, sharing his story for first time w/ @ms.now www.ms.now/news/ice-det...

How can this go on for another 3 years?

An immigration judge has ended the asylum claims of Liam Conejo Ramos and his family. They deserve to live in this country in peace. I’m glad that Liam and his family’s incredible lawyers with Nwokocha & Operana Law Offices are appealing this decision. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Tomorrow is Transit Employee Appreciation Day, and so @metrotransitmn.bsky.social, this is for you and all your drivers, operators, mechanics, cleaners, everyone that keeps the system working! #busride

“We pinky promise to follow the laws we already have” isn’t going to cut it

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

"Each person plucked from their day-to-day existence left a whole life behind. There are shoes by the front door and an empty bed. There’s a car in the driveway and a job undone. There are pets that need feeding, bills that keep arriving and leases with months left to pay."

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Don't look away. These camps are unsafe for people's well-being and health, unconstitutional, and a stain on the US. If people want to have a convo about immigration, let's do it. This is not the solution. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

@loonybinpodcast.bsky.social journalistic integrity: “Vancouver played in two finals last year, but had zero trophies.” Who can forget the epic all-Vancouver final & Whitecaps bringing home their 4th straight Canadian Championship!?!

The government’s official story would unravel in court — refuted by video surveillance, crime scene photos and witness statements.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
