 Tensions grip Minnesota as federal ICE operations under Operation Metro Surge have led to over 3,000 arrests in the Minneapolis area, sparking protests after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer on January 7. WCCO reports a legal showdown between the state and federal government, with a critical lawsuit deadline passed and the Pentagon preparing 1,500 troops for possible deployment amid unrest. NBC News confirms the troop readiness, while the Justice Department investigates Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over protest handling. Minnesota News Network notes two St. Paul hotels suspending operations due to safety concerns.

In politics, the 2026 legislative session begins February 17, facing a projected $3 billion budget deficit per the Minnesota Management and Budget forecast, as outlined by MASA. House Republicans have drafted impeachment articles against Walz over alleged $9 billion in taxpayer fraud, according to FOX 9. Local governments push to end a sales tax moratorium for infrastructure, with the League of Minnesota Cities advocating voter approvals, per LMC magazine.

Economically, ICE enforcement disrupts businesses, closing 80 percent of immigrant-owned spots in Minneapolis and St. Paul corridors and causing staffing shortages statewide, says the Minnesota Chamber Foundation. DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek confirms negative impacts on payrolls.

Governor Walz unveiled a $907 million infrastructure plan, prioritizing $316 million for state preservation, $172 million for water and roads, and $149 million for public safety like Capitol security upgrades post-DFL leader Melissa Hortmans assassination. MnDOT awarded $76.2 million for freight and economic projects. No major recent weather events reported, though Lutsen Mountains skiers were safely rescued from a three-hour lift strand.

Looking Ahead: Watch the legislative session opener, potential troop deployment decisions, and bonding bill debates amid fiscal pressures.
