Overview

  • The City Council scheduled a Thursday 9:30 a.m. vote on a package responding to recent immigration enforcement actions.
  • The proposal, authored by Council Minority Leader Robin Wonsley, would allocate $1 million from the city’s contingency fund.
  • Funds would be transferred to Hennepin County for rapid distribution to service organizations assisting affected families.
  • The measure seeks to temporarily extend the required eviction notice from 30 to 60 days to give renters additional time.
  • Council members are also urging Gov. Tim Walz to enact an eviction moratorium, as Wonsley’s sharp criticisms of ICE and President Trump drew broader attention.
