Minneapolis city officials say a new report on the economic effects of the federal immigration enforcement surge can help provide a roadmap for how to direct relief efforts. The city estimates the surge caused nearly $700 million in economic harm, most of that due to lost wages and business revenue.Additionally, the Minneapolis City Council is set to take up two measures this morning related to George Floyd Square. One is whether to approve a special tax assessment on property owners at the square to help cover the cost of a street reconstruction project that just started.Minnesota lawmakers want to memorialize a peer lost to political violence and prevent future threats. Almost one year ago, a gunman shot and killed House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home. The gunman also shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, who both survived.

And in the months since, lawmakers sought to remember the Hortmans by renaming a highway, bike trail and Capitol garden.The man charged with killing Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is expected to plead guilty this morning.A Feeding Our Future defendant who fled to Kenya is back in Minnesota to face charges after surrendering to authorities.Minneapolis estimates Operation Metro Surge cost the city $700 millionMinneapolis City Council to weigh two measures related to George Floyd SquareSteps to honor Hortman, prevent future tragedies take root in year since her assassinationBoelter expected to plead guilty in lawmaker attacks

Send a textEdwin Reed, who had to shut down his business near George Floyd Square, and Michael Healy, his attorney, joined Liz Collin on her podcast. Reed explained that "it's clear the city picks and chooses who is important,” since Minneapolis is pushing funding for businesses following Operation Metro Surge, while the city has ignored how businesses in George Floyd Square have suffered for years. He also talked about how he and eight other business owners are suing the city for allowing gangs and activists to take over the area, which consequently ruined his business.Healy, his attorney, pointed out that “ultimately, it's the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Frey who are responsible" for allowing traffic to be blocked for more than a year as the area became "a war zone" following George Floyd's death.Support the show

Design students in Minnesota can submit ideas for a future George Floyd memorial near the intersection of 38th and Chicago in Minneapolis. Floyd's aunt, Angela Harrelson said in a statement about the contest, “when it comes to honoring George's legacy, we're calling on the best of the best to help bring that vision to life.” After Floyd was murdered by police in 2020, the site became an organic memorial, as people made art and left offerings there. Late last year, the Minneapolis city council approved a plan to reconstruct the area known as George Floyd Square. The student design contest will run until mid-May. One or more of the winning designs could become a permanent installation. Two of the people behind the design competition joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini. Niall-Julian Universe is with the nonprofit Rise and Remember, and Anjali Ganapathy is director of undergraduate studies in architecture at the University of Minnesota.

Five years ago, the murder of George Floyd by then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin turned the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue into an epicenter of worldwide calls to change policing. It was at that intersection where witnesses filmed Floyd's final moments as he cried out repeatedly that he couldn't breathe.Now, as city leaders work to implement court-ordered police reforms, they are also trying to figure out what's next for the site where the murder happened, now known as George Floyd Square.
