Trump Admin Pulls 700 ICE Agents from Minnesota in Surprise Drawdown

The Trump administration will immediately withdraw 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota, reducing ICE presence to about 2,000 in the state. The move follows increased county jail cooperation to notify ICE about detainee releases; Minnesota law limits detainer holds and counties could face liability, with some counties (like Hennepin) resisting cooperation. The policy’s scope and implementation across counties remain unclear.

Montana Supreme Court Settles Property Tax Dispute in Favor of State

The Montana Supreme Court has ruled against the majority of Montana counties in a dispute over property tax calculations. The court upheld the state's interpretation of property tax law, stating that counties are obligated to charge the full amount of school equalization property tax mills as directed by the Montana Department of Revenue. The ruling ends a months-long dispute between the state and the counties, which started after a spike in residential property values. The court's decision means that property tax collections statewide will not be reduced by about $80 million this year.

Alzheimer's Prevalence: Hotspots Identified in U.S. Counties

New research reveals that the eastern and southeastern regions of the United States have the highest rates of Alzheimer's dementia. Among counties with populations of 10,000 or more people aged 65 and older, Miami-Dade County in Florida, Baltimore in Maryland, and the Bronx in New York have the highest prevalence of Alzheimer's at 16.6%. Demographics, such as a higher percentage of people over 85 and a larger Black and Hispanic population, may contribute to these high rates. The county-level data can aid in better allocation of resources for Alzheimer's care. Maryland, New York, Mississippi, and Florida have the highest prevalence of Alzheimer's among states.

The new code will be added to the existing 651 area code, which covers the eastern part of the state, including the Twin Cities. The change will not affect existing telephone numbers, but new numbers issued in the affected counties will have the new area code. A river flood warning is also in effect for several counties in Minnesota.
