Minneapolis small businesses – and some big ones – start receiving assistance to remedy ICE surge

Minneapolis small businesses, including Sara Wordofa's Katar River Restaurant and Bakery, received refunds for licensing fees through the city's $7 million Small Business Resiliency Fund to offset economic losses from Operation Metro Surge. The refunds, totaling $4,666 for Wordofa, aim to provide immediate relief but are seen as insufficient compared to the $700 million in estimated damages.
