Appreciate @cheniquajohnson lifting up the importance all St. Paul residents, including public housing residents, from evictions: "We are seeing families evicted over $50...when we start making these exemptions, we set the tone for future exemptions." #EvictICEnotUS

Mayor Frey’s veto today will contribute to mass evictions of residents who were targeted by ICE.

It is always more cost-effective to prevent eviction than to try and re-house families who have been evicted. It’s commonsense policy, rooted in compassion.

mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent

In February 2022, 22-year-old Amir Locke was shot and killed during the execution of a no-knock warrant that our mayor had campaigned on banning. This week, the officer who took his life appeared before the City Council as the police department’s new Health & Wellness lead.

[Bill Emory @W_R_Emory]

I think if MPD was serious about the wellness of their officers, they wouldn’t have assigned the guy that murdered Amir Locke to be in charge of it.

[Robin4mpls @robin4mpls]

St. Paul Council Members HwaJeong Kim, Nelsie Yang and Molly Coleman are leading their City Council to vote today to extend the eviction notice to 60 days in St. Paul as well.

This is a commonsense policy to keep families in their homes as rent assistance is rolled out.

minneapolis ward 8 city council member soren stevenson pointed out that sgt mark hanneman's body cam footage in 2020 showed him being shot in the face and losing his eye, pointing out that "there is trauma to go around"

hanneman is the MPD officer who killed amir locke in 2022

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

Can we talk about Minneapolis affordable housing nonprofits flacking against an extension of eviction notice, flacking against folks having a little tiny breathing room so they may be able to get some support?

[Soren With Ward 8 @sorenmpls]

MPD has not submitted a single case involving federal agents for charging. Tomorrow MPD will be before the council, I want to hear from them why. Neighbors have seen way more than their fair share of criminal behavior by ICE

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

Your effusive support and love for your neighbor, that is the key that opens you. Don't stop now, let it wash over your whole politic, this policy is everything pragmatic and sensible and caring that you ever imagined yourself to be.

[Robin4mpls @robin4mpls]

Tomorrow City Council will be taking up “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent.

This buys us time for rent assistance to be distributed and pressure Walz for an eviction moratorium.

[Medic Kim @medickimw]

SOUND UP OMFG 💀💀💀 I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS

[Robin4mpls @robin4mpls]

New study from @curaumn: "We estimate that 30–50% of immigrant renters may be at least one month behind on rent by February 2026."

Researchers estimate that excess statewide rent debt linked to ICE's occupation reached between $27.4 million to $51.3 million by February 2026.

[Tara Raghuveer @taraghuveer]

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @GovTimWalz fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

[Marion Greene - Hennepin County Commissioner @HennepinD3]

Yesterday morning, in the lobby of the Hennepin County Government Center, two members of our community were arrested by ICE agents as HSCO deputies looked on. These kidnappings are horrible and cannot continue on our watch.

[Robin4mpls @robin4mpls]

Researchers at @NSPolicyAction estimate the cost of Operation Metro Surge to be at least $18 million every week:

- $8.9 million in ICE and CBP personnel compensation
- $4.5 million for lodging + meals for federal agents
- $1.6 million in detention costs
- $3 million in police OT

[Aisha Chughtai @aishaforward10]

Around 9 a.m. this morning, federal agents executed one of our neighbors, Alex Pretti, at 26th and Nicollet in Whittier, in the community I represent. This is the second neighbor murdered in South Minneapolis by ICE in less than three weeks.
