Trump’s travel ban affects Minnesotans, including those from Somalia and Afghanistan

The Trump administration’s new travel ban is impacting many immigrants living in Minnesota, including those who moved here from Somalia and Afghanistan.

Sheriffs and County Attorneys are calling on state lawmakers and the governor to honor earlier commitments to fund mental health treatment. 

Jurors have begun deliberating in the trial of Derrick Thompson. He is accused of killing five young women in a Minneapolis car crash in 2023.
