What happened
A review of the impacts of 'Operation Metro Surge' indicates that DHS activity caused economic damage across Minnesota. Researchers found that during the first six weeks of the surge, employment in the Twin Cities fell by nearly 3%, with total work hours dropping by almost 2%. Conservative estimates suggest that workers in the Twin Cities lost at least $106 million in wages between early January and mid-February alone.
