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.

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.

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...
