À propos de cet audio

 Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, January 8, 2026.We wake up today still processing a deeply painful story in our city. Yesterday morning, a 37 year old woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. The city says Minneapolis police and firefighters responded around 9:30, pulled her from her vehicle, and she later died at HCMC. City leaders, including Mayor Jacob Frey, are demanding accountability and calling the shooting an abuse of federal power, while Governor Tim Walz says the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI are investigating and he has issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard, asking all of us to protest peacefully if we choose to be out.Our city hall focus today is on how Minneapolis responds to ongoing federal immigration actions. The mayor recently signed an executive order blocking civil immigration enforcement operations from using city owned parking ramps and lots, and the City Council strengthened the separation ordinance so our police and firefighters focus on safety, not immigration status. City officials keep stressing that we can safely use city services and report crimes regardless of our status.On public safety more broadly, Minneapolis police say they are increasing patrol visibility around the 34th and Portland area and downtown, especially along Nicollet Mall and Hennepin Avenue, both to deter any opportunistic crime and to reassure neighbors as demonstrations continue. We are encouraged to avoid rumors on social media and stick with verified updates from the city and state.Weather wise, we are in classic January mode. Temperatures hover in the teens and low 20s today, with a light northwest breeze making it feel a bit colder. Skies stay mostly cloudy, with a small chance of flurries that could make side streets like Lake Street and Lowry Avenue slick for the evening commute. The short term outlook keeps us cold but pretty quiet through the weekend, good news for anyone heading to outdoor spots like the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden or a frozen Minnehaha Falls.In our cultural and event calendar, Meet Minneapolis highlights public tours at U.S. Bank Stadium today starting late morning, and an ice sculpture opening party at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on Third Avenue South. Tonight on West Broadway, the Capri Theater hosts its First Thursday Films series with a screening of Sinners for a low ticket price, a nice option for a North Side movie night. Looking ahead, we also have the 36th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Breakfast coming up January 19 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, supporting college access for Twin Cities students.On the jobs and business front, local recruiters report that tech, health care, and construction firms across downtown and the University Avenue corridor continue posting hundreds of openings, especially in nursing, software development, and skilled trades. Real estate agents say median home prices in Minneapolis sit in the mid three hundreds, with slightly more new listings appearing in neighborhoods like Nokomis and Northeast as interest rates stabilize.Our local schools bring a bright spot. Several Minneapolis high school robotics teams are celebrating strong early season scrimmage results, with students from South, Washburn, and Edison preparing for regional competitions later this winter. Coaches say the programs are giving our kids real pathways into engineering and tech careers.For sports fans, we are in that overlap zone. The Timberwolves are pushing to stay near the top of the Western Conference, packing Target Center on First Avenue North, while the Wild continue their midseason grind over in Saint Paul. At the college level, University of Minnesota basketball and hockey bring steady traffic around campus and along University Avenue Southeast most evenings.We close with one feel good story. On Lake Street, a group of Latino small business owners, faith leaders, and city officials have been gathering to support one another through the stress of federal actions, organizing mutual aid, legal clinics, and simple check ins over coffee. Their message is that our Minneapolis community is strongest when we show up for each other, especially in hard weeks like this one.Thank you for tuning in today, and please remember to subscribe so you never miss our daily check in.
