The Economic Policy Institute estimates that ICE operations are projected to cost Olmsted County residents nearly $133 million, or over $2,000 per taxpayer, through 2029. Across the broader Southeast Minnesota region, the cost is estimated at $374 million, or $1,520 per taxpayer.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The funding for these deportation efforts, which the administration is slated to spend over $268 billion on through 2029, could otherwise be used for services such as affordable housing or veterans' care. Additionally, court costs and settlements against the U.S. Justice Department are expected to reach millions.
