 In Minnesota, tensions are high over a surge in federal ICE activity, sparking protests, lawsuits, and community backlash. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, alongside Minneapolis and Saint Paul, sued the federal government, calling the deployment of thousands of armed agents a federal invasion that has sown chaos across the Twin Cities, according to Democracy Now reports. Protests turned volatile with agents firing tear gas and pepper spray, while one resident recounted vile treatment during an arrest, including taunts referencing the fatal January 7 shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Minnesota News Network details how Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel is representing the uncharged agent, Jonathan Ross. Faith leaders are urging an economic blackout on January 23, dubbed A Day of Truth and Freedom, with a march planned in downtown Minneapolis.

Politically, House Republicans drafted impeachment articles against Governor Tim Walz over alleged nine billion dollars in taxpayer fraud, demanding accountability, as FOX 9 reports, though passage requires a House majority ahead of the February 17 legislative session start. The 2026 session returns to status quo on local sales taxes for city projects like infrastructure, after a failed moratorium reform, per the League of Minnesota Cities magazine. Fiscal debates loom, with DFL leaders citing strong budgeting amid deficit projections tied to federal changes.

Economically, Hibbing Taconite announced 45 more Iron Range layoffs effective February 1, atop last years 600, prompting calls for new ventures like helium mining, Minnesota News Network states, as lawmakers extended unemployment benefits. Positively, Ecolab seeks up to ten million dollars in state funding for an 82,200-square-foot Eagan RD expansion, Finance and Commerce reports, while healthcare and tech jobs project eight to fifteen percent growth through 2032 per DEED projections. The Federal Reserves Beige Book notes slight employment dips but modest consumer spending gains. North Mankato approved 27 million dollars in bonds for a new public works campus, and Richfield rezoned for a learning center aiding autistic students.

Public safety saw two Coon Rapids brothers sentenced to life for a triple murder, and Duluth added its first armored rescue vehicle. A cabin fire engulfed Meads Island on Lake Vermilion, with no injuries reported. No major recent weather events.

Looking Ahead, watch the January 28 DEED hearing on Ecolab funding, January 27 Richfield zoning finale, and February 17 legislative kickoff amid ICE lawsuits and Walz impeachment talks.
