Federal immigration authorities arrest 2nd Minnesota college student

Federal immigration authorities have arrested a second Minnesota college student — this time at MSU Mankato.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he has yet to receive “adequate” information from the Department of Homeland Security about the University of Minnesota student who was detained by ICE last week. Both the U of M and MSU-Mankato have said school officials were not involved in supplying information to ICE.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter has declared a state of emergency to ensure trash collection will continue uninterrupted.

Work on a major construction project at a freeway interchange southeast of Rochester is set to resume next week. It’ll be the second year of a three-year project to rebuild the interchange at U.S. Highway 52 and Interstate 90. That includes two new bridges for freeway traffic and a new flyover ramp onto eastbound I-90 to eliminate the need for left turns for traffic heading from Rochester toward Winona and La Crosse.
