A lawful permanent resident loses his job In June, three months after Herrera’s firing, the city of Minneapolis responded to a data request from the Laborers union. It contained an email from Public Works foreman Jule Gross, in which Gross claimed Herrera’s license was “downgraded” on March 1 and he deceived the city by operating commercial vehicles without a commercial license for three weeks afterward. However, Driver and Vehicles Services told the Star Tribune that Herrera’s commercial driver’s license remained intact throughout his employment by the city, having never been suspended or downgraded in any way.

South St. Paul Police Chief Brian Wicke and Eagan Police Chief Salim Omari both said they reached out to Flock about “immigration” searches done by Mille Lacs County on their departments' data. The chiefs said their departments' data did not return any results. Both departments have now turned off statewide sharing and prohibited agencies from searching for immigration enforcement. Other police departments have made similar moves to restrict data and require individual sharing agreements.

She set up a meeting with Mayor Jacob Frey in 2023 and told him what she expected to happen. He put his head in his hands and blurted out an expletive, she said. Then he asked her to come up with a plan. Frey was on hand for the official unveiling of the rebrand Wednesday.
Which brings us back to process. The trail plan was approved by the Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the St. Paul City Council, the mayor and the Metropolitan Council after years of public engagement. Every council member who voted for it was reelected. Even Mayor Kaohly Her, a Summit resident who campaigned as a critic of the planning process, declined to call for the trail’s cancellation. Opponents were unsuccessful, and the response has been lawsuits,

SENATOR OMAR FATEH RESPONDS TO RACIST & ISLAMOPHOBIC ATTACKS BY ALL OF MINNEAPOLIS MINNEAPOLIS, MN — “Today, we all saw yet another instance of a racist and xenophobic dog whistle from Karin Birkeland and the All of Minneapolis PAC – red-baiting and directly attacking my public service to the people of Minnesota as a State Senator. The statements made in All of Minneapolis’ email from this morning are absolutely disgusting. It is this exact kind of harmful rhetoric that is driving the hatred and divisiveness in our politics. This is the latest example of a repeated pattern of discrediting and dehumanizing our elected leaders of color. Leaders like myself face countless death threats, racist comments, and violent messages daily – but this is a new low. All of Minneapolis continues to go back to their same old disgusting dirty tactics, spreading blatant lies and fear-mongering. After the year we have been through with Operation Metro Surge, Minnesotans are sick of this politics of fear and division– point blank period. DFL Party Leadership cannot continue to stay silent on the blatant harm and lies spread by All of Minneapolis. I am disheartened by the culture of enabling this kind of racism, xenophobia, and red-baiting by individuals in positions of power like Chair Richard Carlblom, who has yet to release any statement condemning this type of behavior. It is a complete and utter failure and sadly has been what I have come to expect from the politics of the DFL and its State Chair. I represent the district with the most unmet needs and have fought tooth and nail every day to improve the lives of my neighbors and fellow Minnesotans. This is what the Southside is all about, and that’s the leadership we deserve. Now, more than ever, we need leaders who will not fold. We will not back down. Solidarity, comrades.”
Gus is a 16-year-old orange domestic mediumhair, and Ping is an 11-year-old Siamese. They have been together for many years and are truly bonded companions. They are both incredibly sweet, gentle, cats who love attention and spending time with their people.  Ping can be a little shy and reserved when meeting new people, but once he feels safe and trusts someone, he becomes a very affectionate, loyal companion who loves spending time with his person. Gus takes a small thyroid pill twice a day, which he does very well with, and his condition is well controlled. Otherwise, both cats have been well cared for, are neutered, indoor-only, and have complete veterinary records available.  We’re looking for someone who can give them a calm, loving home where they can remain together. We know adopting two cats—especially a senior cat—is a big ask, but we also know there are wonderful people who have a special place in their hearts for pets like Gus and Ping.

Corbin’s flower shop at 27th and Lyndale is still in business but it lost dozens of customers during the Hennepin Avenue construction, she said during an interview. Customers told her flatly they refuse to come to Uptown anymore because of the severe traffic congestion headaches that went on for two years and found other florists. The disruption not only caused several stores to shut, but also made vagrants feel comfortable streaming into the area. Crime, drugs, vandalism and break-ins accelerated, putting the remaining business owners on high alert, Corbin said.
