Operation Metro Surge, which concluded two months ago, has had a profound economic impact on Minnesota's Twin Cities, as revealed in a recent amended court filing by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with local officials from Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operation has resulted in an estimated $600 million in business losses, with $440 million attributed to Minneapolis and over $165 million to St. Paul. A survey conducted by the U.S. Immigration Policy Center indicated that encounters with federal agents led many residents to avoid work, resulting in $240 million in lost wages. The Minneapolis Police Department faced significant strain, extending 500 shifts and incurring over $6 million in overtime costs due to the increased demand for police services. Additionally, the operation disrupted medical care, with 66% of individuals needing urgent care in Minneapolis avoiding hospitals. City leaders are now calling for federal accountability, emphasizing that the financial repercussions should not fall on local taxpayers.
