The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture visited a nutrition program office in Ramsey County to talk about the urgency for Congress to pass funding by March 1 to ensure nutrition assistance for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and other programs will not have to see cuts.

And Minneapolis city workers Thursday cleared a south side homeless encampment, two days after evicting dozens of people from another vacant lot several blocks away.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
