À propos de cet audio

 Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, January 2. We kick off with breaking news from our state: the Department of Homeland Security reports over 500 arrests of undocumented immigrants in Minnesota recently, alongside 1000 immigration fraud investigations, as city council debates stronger sanctuary rules that could shape daily commutes and neighborhood safety around Lake Street. Shifting to city hall updates, new Minnesota laws hit today, including the Paid Family and Medical Leave program starting, so working parents near Uptown can now take paid time for newborns or sick family without losing income. Absentee voting requires both Social Security and ID numbers, easing fair elections at Hennepin County offices, while MinnesotaCare drops coverage for undocumented adults over 18, impacting clinics along Nicollet Mall.

On public safety, no major crimes reported in Minneapolis proper in the past day, but we stay vigilant after distant arrests like those in Crookston, keeping our streets from downtown to the Chain of Lakes secure for all.

Weather today brings chilly highs near 20 degrees with light snow flurries, so bundle up for outdoor walks along the Mississippi River trails, but expect clearer skies by evening for events; tomorrow looks sunny and a touch warmer at 25.

New business buzz includes fresh openings at the State Fair on 4th Street with the Festival of Trees lighting up Level 3 through January, drawing crowds to the Culinary Building. Real estate sees Bloomingtons council approve a modest 7 percent property tax hike for 2026, lower than feared, stabilizing homes near the Mall of America and easing buyer worries in our metro.

Jobs remain steady with paid leave boosting family security, while legislators like Dibble and Hornstein push transit wins like the Orange Line BRT along I-35W, creating roles in construction near Midtown Global Market.

Culturally, catch Somewhere at the Guthrie Theater through February, a heartfelt drama of music and dreams on our riverfront stage. Music fans, Yam Haus rocks First Avenue on January 10 with LAAMAR, Midwest alt-rock vibes echoing since 1970. Sports note: check ice sculptures at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on January 8, free family fun from 5pm.

Community events ahead: Holidays on the Hill tours at James J. Hills mansion tomorrow at 3:15pm in St. Paul, just across the river, blending Gilded Age holiday magic. Quick school win: local districts prep for statewide cell phone bans, sharpening focus at places like Roosevelt High.

For a feel-good lift, neighbors rallied to save small shops during past transit fights, keeping our vibrant corridors alive.
