AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Immigration enforcement showdown: The Minnesota Senate narrowly passed a package that would bar federal agents from wearing masks (with limited exceptions) and set up a path for residents to sue over alleged constitutional violations, while also restricting civil enforcement near schools, day cares, hospitals, and courthouses—though the House is split and the bill’s future looks uncertain. Operation Metro Surge response: Lawmakers are also racing to pass relief and enforcement-limiting measures tied to the winter crackdown, including limits on where agents can operate and new financial help for affected small businesses. Local governance in action: Rochester held a downtown walking tour to show residents how major projects—like UMR expansion and Link BRT—are progressing and what’s next. Health & community: St. Peter Regional Treatment Center marked 160 years with a museum open house, linking Minnesota’s early psychiatric care history to today’s mission. Tech disruption: Schools nationwide are still recovering from a Canvas outage after a cyberattack hit during finals.
