Legally, MPD reform plan doesn't *require* building the all-new training facility on the City Council's agenda this week Practically, experts say the city is "pretty boxed in." It highlights a real debate about the costs and methods for police reform >> axios.com/2026/03/24/min…

Breathtaking sums of donated money may be helping hold back a wave of eviction filings in the Twin Cities after the ICE enforcement surge A survey of 124 of those groups offers a sense of just how much mutual aid money was distributed… and it’s a LOT >> axios.com/local/twin-cit…

This morning, @GovTimWalz announced he'll pitch #mnleg on a small business relief package with emergency loans. It's a COVID-era solution to businesses currently experiencing strains they're comparing to the height of the pandemic >> axios.com/local/twin-cit…

Speaking now: @GovTimWalz is "cautiously optimistic" about news of federal drawdown in MN. BUT "they left us with deep damage, generational trauma … and many unanswered questions: Where are our children?" Where do the investigations into Good and Pretti shootings stand?

@kaohlyforstp declines direct comment on Cities Church protest by anti-ICE activists — but also says there's a double-standard: "Churches have always been our sacred spaces — but so are hospitals, so are schools" (where DHS has changed policy to allow for ICE enforcement)

Frey has no regrets about his use of language — the F-bomb about ICE in the city, or calling the federal narrative of Renee Good's shooting "bullshit." His job as mayor is to "channel what our city is feeling."

@MayorFrey laughed at @KristiNoem's suggestion that he set up "safe zones" for protests: "The entire country is a safe zone" for free speech Also, he quipped: "Could you imagine *ME* telling *Minneapolis activists,* 'Hey guys. Just protest in this single park. Nowhere else.'"

As Manny González of "Tortas" fame talked to @nickhaltermpls from his kitchen, the sound of whistles could be heard just outside Midtown Global Market's doors as ICE agents walked by. "They just abducted another person," a market staff person said. axios.com/local/twin-cit…
