Minneapolis executive order prohibits using city-owned spaces for ICE operations

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says President Donald Trump is acting in “flat-out, un-American” fashion by targeting Somali Americans and referring to them as “garbage.” Frey has signed an executive order prohibiting federal, state and local agencies from using city-owned parking lots, ramps, garages or vacant lots to stage civil immigration enforcement operations.

The Minneapolis Police Department is reminding people it will not ask them about their citizenship status if they call the police. The department also says residents can call 911 to verify a responding officer is who they say they are.

A man faces federal charges for ramming his car into the vehicle of an ICE agent last week in St. Paul. The man was released from jail to home detention after pleading not guilty to assaulting an officer.

Minnesota businessman Mike Lindell has filed paperwork to run for governor next year as a Republican. Lindell, known for his My Pillow business, is an ardent loyalist of President Donald Trump who gained attention from his efforts to fight Trump's 2020 presidential defeat.

The Beltrami County Board of Commissioners has approved next year's budget, which includes library funding cuts.
