Local news is here to stay - MinnPost

In January and February, we saw an influx of attention to Minnesota. Many national and even international news outlets were reporting on Operation Metro Surge and related events. There were a few weeks where it felt like you couldn’t go to a single news source without seeing something about Minnesota. But now that most outlets have packed up and gone home, who remains to cover the aftermath?

Operation Metro Surge might be officially over, but its effects are far-reaching and long-lasting. That’s where MinnPost comes in. We’re here to help Minnesotans understand the long-term consequences of the immigration enforcement surge: We’re providing context surrounding actions at the State Legislature; we’re giving updates on the continued actions of the federal government as they relates to Minnesota specifically; and we’re looking at the data and providing real-life accounts from everyday residents.

Above all, we’re answering the call to provide Minnesotans with the context, facts and analysis to make sense of a tumultuous situation. *And all of our reporting is available completely free of charge — no paywall, no paid subscriptions. Instead, *we’re relying on the voluntary donations of readers like you to support our work moving forward.
