  • Minneapolis homeless camp shrinks as officials prepare for camp's closure

    Dec 20, 2018

    For the first time in months, there are large patches of bare ground between the wind-swept tents at the homeless encampment in south Minneapolis. The native wigwams and teepees that once stood here - serving as sanctuaries and ceremonial meeting places for hundreds of American Indians - are gone, taken down by street outreach workers who also are less active at the site day by day. The smoldering campfire at the center of the camp is history, and the smell of wood smoke has been replaced by...

  • German journalist admits to fabricating 2017 article on Fergus Falls

    Dec 20, 2018

    A German journalist who trekked to Fergus Falls, Minn., to profile a rural Midwest community after President Donald Trump’s inauguration wrote that he was greeted at the city limits by a sign that read: “Mexicans Keep Out.” Problem is, the sign reporter Claas Relotius described in his March 2017 article in Der Spiegel, a German language news magazine, never existed. Some of the quotes in the story were made up, too, as were some of the anecdotes — from a brewery hosting a Super Bowl viewing party (the brewery was closed that day) to the cit...

  • Trump pulling all US troops from Syria, declaring IS defeat

    Dec 20, 2018

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is pulling all 2,000 U.S. troops out of Syria, officials announced Wednesday as the president suddenly declared victory over the Islamic State, contradicting his own experts' assessments and sparking surprise and outrage from his party's lawmakers who called his action rash and dangerous. The U.S. began airstrikes in Syria in 2014, and ground troops moved in the following year to battle the Islamic State, or ISIS, and train Syrian rebels in a country torn apart by civil war. Trump abruptly declared their m...

  • Congress weighs returning 12,000 acres to Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe

    Dec 20, 2018

    Washington – The federal government would return 11,760 acres of land to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe as part of a measure moving through Congress. The measure reverses a land seizure by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) that began in the late 1940s, when the agency authorized the sale of tribal land allotments to the U.S. Forest Service without the owners' consent. Sen. Tina Smith, a sponsor, has said that the bill would restore land "that was wrongfully taken from" the Ojibwe. h...

  • Environmental groups and Ojibwe bands file appeals on Enbridge pipeline approval

    Dec 20, 2018

    Three environmental groups and two Ojibwe bands on Wednesday filed lawsuits challenging the state's approval of Enbridge's controversial new $2.6 billion oil pipeline planned for northern Minnesota. The lawsuits, filed with the Minnesota Court of Appeals, seek to overturn a June decision by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). By a unanimous vote, the PUC granted a "certificate of need" for Enbridge's new pipeline, which would ferry Canadian oil across Minnesota to the company's terminal in Superior, Wis. http://...

  • New population estimates a positive sign for Minnesota's political clout

    Dec 20, 2018

    Strong population growth in the last two years makes it more likely that Minnesota will retain its eight U.S. House seats after the 2020 census. But U.S. Census Bureau estimates of state populations released Wednesday show that the state is still at risk of losing a representative in Washington because other states are growing even faster. http://www.startribune.com/new-population-estimates-a-positive-sign-for-minnesota-s-political-clout/503150661/...

  • The Janus decision was supposed to hurt public-employee unions. In Minnesota, their membership is up

    Dec 20, 2018

    In June, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Janus v. AFSCME threatened to hurt public-sector labor unions in states like Minnesota. In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that unions covering public sector workers — teachers, firefighters, police and administrators among them — could not charge nonmembers for their services, because doing so violated those nonmembers’ First Amendment rights “by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern.” https://www.minnpost.com/politics-policy/2018/1...

    Dec 20, 2018

Prison staff announced this reversal in an internal memo December 6, and the prison modified its daily schedule on December 10 to allow staff to catch up on canteen deliveries. I...
