概要

 Minneapolis reels from the end of Operation Metro Surge, a massive federal immigration crackdown that deployed thousands of ICE agents, arrested over 4,000 people, and sparked violent protests, two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens, and widespread fear in immigrant communities. According to Minnesota News Network, Mayor Jacob Frey announced the city suffered a $203 million economic hit from lost business, mental health strains, and increased food insecurity, while Governor Tim Walz proposed $10 million in forgivable loans for affected businesses, as reported by the Minnesota Reformer and his office press release. The Minneapolis Foundation launched a $4 million Economic Response Fund for small businesses statewide, distributing grants up to $10,000 through nonprofit partners.

Federal indictments continue from protest fallout: a St. Paul woman faces charges for biting off a federal agent's finger tip, and out-of-state individuals from Washington, California, and Illinois are accused of threatening FBI agents after personal data was stolen during clashes, per Minnesota News Network. ICE placed two agents on leave after video contradicted their statements in a January shooting, the network added.

The state legislature convenes Tuesday in a divided session, with the House tied 67-67 and DFL holding a slim Senate edge, CBS News Minnesota reports. Priorities include affordability, fraud prevention in programs like Housing Stabilization Services, tax conformity with federal changes like no tax on tips or overtime, and bipartisan school security grants, though Democrats push gun reforms like assault weapon bans amid a Valentine's Day rally at the Capitol by Protect Minnesota. Republicans focus on mental health and avoiding tax hikes amid potential deficits.

Education sees momentum with $5 million recommended for Aitkin School District's new PreK-6 facility after a scaled-back referendum, per the Iron Range Resources Board, and $43 million upgrades at Park Center Senior High including a new media center and career wing, CCX Media notes.

No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead: Watch the legislative session for immigration recovery debates, bonding bills for infrastructure like flood mitigation, and an April 14 referendum on Aitkin schools. A gun violence rally unfolds today at the Capitol.
