Minneapolis officials revealed on Friday that Operation Metro Surge, a federal immigration enforcement mission led by the Trump administration, cost the city at least $203 million. The costly operation saw up to 3,000 ICE and CBP agents flood the metro area starting December 2025. Mayor Jacob Frey and emergency management teams reported heavy losses in wages, with $47 million lost due to residents avoiding work out of fear. Restaurants and small businesses suffered $81 million in revenue losses. The city faced a growing food crisis, with 76,200 people struggling with food insecurity, costing $2.4 million weekly. Housing needs also spiked, with $15.7 million required for rent assistance. Minneapolis police dealt with increased overtime, exceeding the department's full annual budget in just five days in January, costing the city over $6 million. This strained ongoing municipal financial problems. Officials stressed these figures likely underestimate the true impact, based on limited business surveys. The federal crackdown led to disruptions in daily life and commerce across Minneapolis, affecting wages, security, and mental health services. The operation has sparked calls for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's resignation following the deaths of US citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti during the enforcement activities. The Trump administration insisted it targeted only illegal immigrants with criminal records. Minneapolis released a "Preliminary Impact Assessment & Relief Needs Overview" detailing these extensive costs and damages. The city warns the scale threatens core public services and increases needs among vulnerable residents.
