Incident by SWLRT
Speaking of emergency response, last evening park police were called to a “person down” report in a wooded area near Kenilworth Trail, between the 21st Street and Bryn Mawr light rail stations. Upon arrival, park police found a deceased adult male in an encampment on Met Council property. In a tent nearby, another person was found with critical injuries and taken to HCMC. A third person was arrested for being a non-compliant sex offender after trying to enter the crime scene. The MPD Homicide Unit is investigating, and I’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
It is bittersweet to think that this parks chapter of my public service is coming to a close soon, but I look forward with great excitement to serving you on the city council. Please know that in these uncertain times I stand with community.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Shaffer
Minneapolis Park Commissioner, District 4
Minneapolis City Council Member-Elect
maybe we wouldn't be finding dead bodies in wooded areas outside of transit stops that are under construction if we weren't evicting encampments and chasing people to the outskirts of society. elizabeth shaffer links to a map drawing exactly where

Lydia Millard spent more on purple paint in July than Aisha Chughtai's entire list of expenditures for that month. And yet still lost by 22 points.

Hello, terrible things are happening in Minneapolis and I need to be reminded of all the good so I can hold on and be hopeful.
So today I want to shout out three amazing men who contribute so much to our community — @danielsuitor.com, @rollingfor20.bsky.social, and @jchavezmpls.bsky.social.

ICE targeting any of us is an attack on all of us. We need to protect our Somali relative’s and show up. We have needed each other for what has come and we will need each other for what’s coming. Solidarity needs to mean more than words.

‘moderate’ liberals and conservatives and fascists have all tried to pin fraud on somalis this year resulting in the ICE crackdown we’re dealing with now. qt unrelated

Minnesota’s Somali community is needed and wanted. They enrich Minnesota and America. I am glad our Somali community is part of my community.

Dear neighbor, I want to let you know that we are witnessing increased enforcement actions by agents in South Minneapolis. There continues to be reports of residents being followed while driving, stopped and taken away. 1/

Between $700-900 would cover it! The other alternative would be to order bulk travel shampoos, conditioners, lotion, and deodorants, toothbrush, toothpaste, body wash

The Supply Depot is looking for someone to sponsor 150 hygiene kits. Demand is outpacing our ability to supply them. Do you know anyone who could?

An agent with face coverings and an Uber signage on their car.
This evening, a resident was kidnapped by agents with face coverings. They disguised themselves in masks and as Uber drivers. They even left kids abandoned inside a car in the freezing cold. 1/
