The Afro Deli is the Mpls skyway is closing after today because there was an ICE raid a few days ago and they don't have enough employees to continue. I will vote for any person who promises to put these dudes in jail forever.

This first amendment passed after some vigorous debate over what constitutes "defunding police" or "bashing police over the head."
Here's the series of three budget amendments cutting a portion of the $3.3 million budget for the mayor's office.
The first one restores $1.4 million in housing vouchers - reallocating 1.1m from MPD and 300k from the mayor's office.

I wish I could spend 20 million dollars that I don’t have then when anyone complained some weirdos would be like “why are you bringing up old shit?”
Palmisano frustrated at having to hear so many times that MPD overspent their budget by $20 million, says the council will learn more about that on Monday and that her colleagues are "bashing police over the head."
Chughtai: "Nobody's bashing police over the head. Literally nobody is."
