Minneapolis police and firefighters responded Tuesday evening to a report of a fire at the Renee Good’s memorial site.
We are grateful to the person who put out the fire before the first responders arrived. While there were no injuries, several items at the memorial were damaged.

Thank you, Minneapolis — for showing out, standing up, and loving our city and neighbors.

I was sad to learn of the passing of a giant in the fight for justice, equality, and human dignity, Reverend Jess Jackson. His commitment to civil rights shaped our nation, and his spirit will continue to inspire generations. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...
Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, dies at 84
“Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

As Ramadan begins, alongside Lunar New Year and Fat Tuesday, we’re reminded how beautifully diverse our city is. However you’re marking the day, I hope you’re surrounded by love.

Minneapolis has been through a lot — moments like this remind us what matters most: community and care for each other.

The damage caused by Operation Metro Surge doesn’t disappear just because it’s ending. Families were torn apart. Small businesses lost millions. Students’ learning was disrupted.

We’re focused on supporting our neighbors and small businesses as we move forward. They need us more than ever.

Big numbers. Big impact. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the effects of Operation Metro Surge. What can you do? Support businesses. Donate. Volunteer for a grocery run. As Assistant Chief Gaiters said today, we're Minneapolis Strong.

One month. $203 million in impact. Thousands of Minneapolis families hurting.

In just 30 days, Operation Metro Surge has resulted in:

$47M in lost wages
• $81M in small business losses
• 76,200 people facing food insecurity
• 8,700+ children needing mental health support

The City did not make deals or concessions with the federal government or ICE to end Operation Metro Surge. We are committed to our separation ordinance. MPD & the City don't participate in federal civil immigration enforcement or help ICE with civil immigration enforcement investigations.

We’ll believe Operation Metro Surge is coming to an end when we see it, but let’s give it up for the people of Minneapolis and everyone who has stood with them.

You are great neighbors and great Americans.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with NYC Mayor Mamdani about the reality local governments are facing. When federal government targets immigrant communities, it’s cities that feel it first — and cities that step up.

We’re building a coalition of mayors ready to lead.

They thought they could break us, but a love for our neighbors and a resolve to endure can outlast an occupation. These patriots of Minneapolis are showing that it’s not just about resistance — standing with our neighbors is deeply American.

From food and shelter to legal support, our City’s resource centers are there to help our neighbors who’ve been impacted by Operation Metro Surge. If you need help, it’s there for you. We’ll keep showing up for each other. www.kare11.com/article/news...

If the goal were truly public safety, the numbers would look very different. Minneapolis won’t be silent while enforcement actions target innocent families. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

In the middle of darkness, Minneapolis always shows its light. Last night’s Luminary Loppet was no different.

Great to see so many of our neighbors out, being with community.
February 8, 2026 at 6:08 PM
Thousands showed up to remember and honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Minneapolis is with you — and we will keep spreading love.

The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

Our local businesses are getting rocked by ICE right now—losing an estimated $10–$20 million every single week. Operation Metro Surge isn’t helping our community. It’s hurting our residents, their livelihoods, and the small businesses we all love. www.startribune.com/ice-economic...

Black History Month is a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate the Black leaders, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs who have shaped Minneapolis and make our city better every day. I’m grateful for the chance to keep working together for our city and the people who call it home!

2,000 federal agents isn’t a de-escalation. My ask remains: Operation Metro Surge needs to end.
February 4, 2026 at 5:19 PM
In addition to tearing families apart and terrorizing our neighborhoods, this massive ICE presence has also been horrible for Minneapolis businesses. We need ICE to leave so our economy can get reignited.

Spent time at 24 Mall connecting with neighbors and hearing what people need right now. The city is here to help with mental health support, food, housing and rental assistance, legal help, and small business support. We’re showing up and taking action.
