Thursday, February 13 — Protesters and journalists arrested inside a church tied to a local ICE leader are in court today, and the controversial federal immigration surge that drew protests is now ending with mixed messages between state and federal leaders.

Dozens of restaurant workers and owners, backed by the Restaurant Opportunities Center, rallied outside Hospitality Minnesota’s downtown Minneapolis headquarters calling for workplace protections and a response to their "86 ICE" demands, including safety plans, barring ICE entry without warrants and welcoming back fearful staff just as Valentine’s weekend nears. They say they’ve sent nearly 2,000 letters with no reply.

Plus, more than 1,000 advocates push gun-violence prevention at the State Capitol, a federal judge dismisses charges in a high-profile ICE shooting case, Interstate 94 will close again, the Minnesota Golf Show returns, PJ Fleck’s contract gets a boost, and Delta announces new nonstop service from MSP to Maui.
