US EditionGov. Walz Proposes $10M Relief Package for Businesses Impacted by ICE
The $10 million fund will provide forgivable loans to immigrant-owned small businesses harmed by federal immigration enforcement, Gov. Walz announced Thursday.
- On Thursday, Governor Tim Walz said he will back a $10 million emergency fund offering forgivable loans to aid Minnesota immigrant-owned businesses hurt by the federal immigration surge.
- Many customers and workers reported avoiding stores during Operation Metro Surge, with Minneapolis small businesses losing up to $20 million weekly, officials said.
- DEED would route funding through non-profit partners to issue loans, ranging from $2,500 to $25,000, to Minnesota small businesses with $200,000 to $4 million in revenue, over three years.
- Several Republicans took to X to slam the proposal, with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer writing, `BREAKING: Tim Walz opens up a new avenue for fraud in Minnesota,` as critics warned taxpayers would bear losses.
- It will be interesting to see whether the plan goes ahead in the near future, as a number of prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office have resigned in recent weeks, and MDH reports 13 confirmed and 27 suspected TMVII cases in the Twin Cities.
