Minneapolis Immigrant Aid Groups Struggle as Donations Decline Post-Operation Metro Surge
In Minneapolis, volunteer mutual aid groups supporting immigrants are facing financial challenges following the end of Operation Metro Surge. This federal operation involved the arrest of over 3,000 immigrants, causing significant disruption in the community. Since the operation concluded, donations to these groups have sharply declined, and volunteer numbers have dwindled. Juntos Podemos, a local aid group, recently held a fundraiser but fell short of its $20,000 goal, raising only $15,000. The group, along with others, continues to assist families with groceries and rent, but the reduced financial support is straining their ability to meet community needs.
