"It's been nearly two months since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) descended on the streets of Minnesota's cities. Across the state, normal life has been disrupted. Businesses are shut down, schools have been forced to close or transition to virtual learning, and access to groceries, transportation, and basic needs has become difficult for some communities within the state. The state and local officials have called for calm and unity."
"Stand with Minnesota is a resource hub with the goal of supporting local Minnesotans, sharing information, and directing people to ways they can help immigrant families and impacted communities in Minnesota. The organization's website includes a directory of opportunities to give, stay informed, read testimonies from local residents, and find actions to support people. Several of the fundraisers on Stand with Minnesota have been shared by organizers working directly on the ground with impacted families and neighborhoods."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota have disrupted daily life, closing businesses and forcing schools into virtual learning. Access to groceries, transportation, and basic needs has been hindered for some communities. State and local officials have called for calm and unity while advocates demand accountability, transparency, and constitutional protections following deaths linked to ICE actions. Neighborhood mutual aid has increased as residents support one another. Donations to local nonprofits and grassroots groups are presented as immediate ways to aid affected families. Stand with Minnesota offers a directory of fundraisers and organizations coordinating relief efforts, and established groups like the International Institute of Minnesota accept donations to support New Americans.
