Minnesota leaders are concerned about federal funding freezes for Minnesota in several programs including Medicaid, SNAP and other safety net services for seniors, children, home care workers and families. The Trump administration announced it would withhold $2 billion in funding for those programs, which the state had identified as being vulnerable to fraud.
And a federal judge did not immediately grant a temporary halt to ICE's operation in Minnesota in a status conference this morning.

Judge Katherine Menendez says there is no substantial case law basis to make an immediate decision.
