As Federal Surge Ends, Governor Walz Proposes $10 Million Relief Package for Minnesota Small Businesses Impacted by Federal Surge

“The campaign of retribution by the federal administration has been more than a short-term disruption; it has inflicted long-term damage on Minnesota communities,” said Governor Walz. “Recovery will not happen overnight. Families, workers, and business owners are feeling the effects, and our responsibility is clear: we will help rebuild, stabilize these businesses, protect jobs, and ensure Minnesota’s economy can recover and thrive.”

Under the proposal, one-time funding would be distributed in forgivable loans ranging from $2,500 to $25,000. Eligible businesses must be able to demonstrate substantial revenue loss during specified dates tied to the surge.

‘This Occupation Has to End!’ Omar Argues After Homan Says Most Agents Will Stay in Minnesota

President Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, announced Wednesday that 700 immigration agents are leaving Minnesota, but with around 2,000 expected to remain there, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whose district includes Minneapolis, declared that the drawdown is “not enough.”

As part of Trump’s “Operation Metro Surge,” agents with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have invaded multiple Minnesota cities, including Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and committed various acts of violence, such as fatally shooting Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Donald Trump Sends Kristi Noem Rival Tom Homan to Minnesota

„He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,“ Trump said of Homan in a Monday morning post on Truth Social, announcing his deployment to Minnesota. „Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.“

The move cuts across DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who is facing increasing pressure after deadly clashes in Minneapolis between federal immigration enforcement officers and protesters. Homan is a potential rival to Noem for her role, though she publicly welcomed Trump‘s decision.
