概要

 Tensions remain high in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, by federal ICE agents during protests against Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis on Saturday. According to Minnesota News Network, Attorney General Keith Ellison is seeking a federal restraining order to halt the deployment of 3,000 agents, citing unconstitutional overreach, while Governor Tim Walz has demanded ICE leave the state. Protests continue amid clashes, including a Sunday incident at a Minneapolis hotel where federal agents deployed tear gas, as reported by Bring Me The News. Senator Amy Klobuchar announced she will oppose DHS funding, echoing calls from national Democrats. This marks the second such shooting recently, after Renee Good's death, fueling statewide outrage.

Governor Walz issued an executive order mandating weapons screening at the State Capitol ahead of the February 17 legislative session, funded by the State Patrol to enhance security amid rising political violence, FOX 9 reports. His proposed 2026 capital investment plan borrows $700 million for public safety, water infrastructure, housing, and transportation projects like PFAS removal and highway bonds, per the League of Minnesota Cities. The legislature eyes anti-fraud measures, including an independent Inspector General office, as bipartisan talks loom.

In business news, HOM Furniture is installing 2.48 megawatts of solar at four stores to claim federal tax credits before the July 4 deadline, partnering with Cedar Creek Energy for cost savings amid rising utility rates, Finance & Commerce states. At the University of Minnesota's Carlson School, the Connecting Carlson project passed its halfway mark, opening new experiential learning spaces fully funded by philanthropy.

Community efforts shine with Tartan High School's renovation in Oakdale, modernizing facilities without closure via phased additions for safety and flexible learning, earning top honors from the Minnesota Construction Association. Congressman Pete Stauber secured $15 million federally for northern infrastructure like highway reconstructions.

No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead: Watch for federal court rulings on Operation Metro Surge, Capitol session start with security upgrades, special legislative elections deciding House control, and business solar rushes before tax credit ends.
