What happened
The Trump administration initiated an immigration crackdown in Minnesota, which included 'Operation Metro Surge'. During this operation, the local economy was reportedly damaged, costing Minnesota businesses $10–$20 million per week due to community fear. Separately, Marco Rubio facilitated deportations in Minnesota, even as a state pardon action challenged federal deportation authority.
