Minneapolis Local Pulse: Justice Demands, Community Responds


Listen Later

Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, March 27. We start with breaking developments on the ICE enforcement incident earlier this year. Governor Tim Walz is demanding justice, calling it a horrific assault, and he formed a state commission yesterday to document impacts with help from the ACLU and UN groups. A federal judge also extended an order today requiring ICE at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building to give detainees attorney access within one hour and no out-of-state transfers for 72 hours. These steps aim to protect rights amid ongoing tensions.

At City Hall yesterday, our council delayed a vote on buying a 4.7-acre site at 146 West 60th Street in Windom for a 38 million dollar public safety training center. The 6.1 million dollar land purchase faced protests chanting no cop city, with concerns over reallocating funds from animal control and traffic safety. They sent it back to staff. Separately, the council approved 2.8 million dollars in rental assistance but failed to override Mayor Frey's veto on extending eviction notices to 60 days, a move tied to immigration crackdown fallout creating 15.7 million dollars in extra rent needs.

No major crimes reported in the past 24 hours, keeping our streets steady. The job market shows steady demand, with about 5,000 openings listed locally this week. Real estate listings are up 10 percent, averaging 350,000 dollars for homes near Lake Street.

Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 45 degrees, perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for light winds near the Mississippi. Expect the same tomorrow.

Culturally, catch Chase and Ovation's Prince tribute tonight and tomorrow at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, or Dark Tranquillity at Varsity Theater tomorrow. This weekend, Savion Glover taps at The Dakota Sunday and Monday, and the Vintage Market hits Machine Shop Sunday at 11.

South High School basketball won their sectional game last night, 68 to 55. New spot: Insun Park and the Generals blend rock and Korean traditions at Cedar Cultural Center soon.

And a feel-good note, south Minneapolis neighbors raised over 400,000 dollars in mutual aid for families post-crackdown, showing our community's heart.

Upcoming, Alpha film screens Sunday at MSP Film. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for more. This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
