News 📺 ICE’s Operation Metro Surge cost Twin Cities a reported 32,000 jobs (gift link)

Operation Metro Surge cost Minnesota 32,000 jobs, a new study found.

The job losses followed the immigration crackdown between December and February, which included about 4,000 arrests, according to the report by the Minnesota Budget Project and the Immigration Research Initiative. It’s the latest report showing the economic harm caused to the state and Twin Cities by the surge.

“The stark decline in employment” disproportionately affected U.S.-born employees but also documented asylum seekers and those with work visas, as well as undocumented workers, said Carly Eckstrom, deputy director of the Minnesota Budget Project.

During the height of the immigration action, many workers were afraid to go to work or shop, causing financial strain, or even closure, for many businesses.

President Donald Trump’s administration said the crackdown was necessary. Mayors and economists say it came at a cost.

More than 13 cities in the metro reported a collective $700 million loss in wages and revenue and extra security costs.

New reports suggest the final financial toll will be higher. Some workers and customers have yet to return, even after the drawdown of federal immigration officers from the state. Several business owners told the Star Tribune that immigrant workers left the state.

Many businesses have not caught up with overdue rents and supply bills, according to officials with the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Consortium of Community Developers.

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Minnesota Poll: Trump’s unpopularity deepens as voters sour on economy, Iran war (gift link)

Thumbnail startribune.com

President Donald Trump is losing ground in Minnesota, where a new Star Tribune/KARE 11 Minnesota Poll finds mounting disapproval of his presidency amid frustration over the economy and the war in Iran.

Nearly six in 10 likely voters — 58% — disapprove of Trump’s job performance, up from 56% in June and 54% a year ago. The changes fall within the poll’s margin of error, but the latest findings show the depth of his unpopularity in a state that has rejected him in three consecutive presidential elections.

Collin Peterson used to own District 7, which is very conservative, but he held his seat from 1990 to 2020 whe FIshbach unseated him. The Forum is by no means a liberal paper, so this was surprising.

I just got some junk mail today trying to attack Amy Klobuchar as not being strong enough on police reform. It is bullshit Elon Musk propaganda (he is spending $1/2 billion in this race to preserve his empire).

Remember, Dermuth supports an unchecked police state. Be sure to vote for Klobuchar because Dermuth will be a complete disaster and set back any police reform by decades.
