Summary
A federal judge in Texas is expected to hear arguments Tuesday over whether Gov. Greg Abbott should be forced to extradite an ICE agent charged with assaulting a man in Minneapolis. A statewide coalition is working to reverse the trend of declining vaccination rates across Minnesota. A federal judge has set a hearing for next week to hear why the government believes it shouldn’t be held in contempt of court for violating an injunction barring immigration actions at a Minneapolis church. The U.S. imposed high tariffs on Canadian goods over the weekend after trade talks between the two countries broke down. Canada is Minnesota’s largest foreign trading partner, and the two economies are closely connected through cross-border trade and travel.
