Good morning,

It’s Thursday, Feb 26, which means it’s Slime your Homeboy day. If backstabbing, conning and betraying are not your things, put that malfeasant energy into something productive. Like consuming news.

On city, read about the work organizations are doing to combat ICE and a new city fund for victims of scams. We have a new Gold Standard podcast episode, an opinion piece on literary sex, a “Museum Nights” snapshot on the arts desk, and a campus steam plant fire update.

Be judicious in making plans with your homeboy. Catch up on news.

Very Respectfully,

Sam Hill | Managing Editor | [email protected]

Twin Cities organizations continue work against ICE

by Trevor Dunning | City Reporter | Published Feb. 25, 2026

Organizations across the Twin Cities continue their fight against Operation Metro Surge as Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations wind down. They are focusing on local and state public relief efforts, hoping to pass several ICE-related bills this legislative session. 

Unidos MN, a grassroots organization based out of the Twin Cities, sat in on an Education Policy Committee meeting at the 2026 Minnesota legislative session Feb. 18. Public testimony was provided by a high school student pulled over with friends in her car by ICE agents. 

“There still is a remnant that continues to move in,” Unidos MN Communications Director Luis Argueta said. “I think my fear is that they’re moving now just even a little bit more effectively.”
