Minnesota is on track to see a record high of 25,000 eviction filings in 2025, up 30% compared to pre-2020.

Eviction filings may reach statewide record in 2025

For people in South Minneapolis, who are being heavily targeted by ICE, Midtown Global Market is remaining open today (individual businesses may be closed) and offering their space for people who need a place to get out of the cold. They are offering free coffee and hot cocoa while supplies last.
