Lack of legislation to support immigrants post-surge leaves 'dire' situation

State lawmakers are officially on break after a busy session. Among the key issues this year at the Capitol: addressing the impacts of the surge of federal immigration agents. Several proposals were introduced, including legislation to establish a $100 million relief fund for businesses that may have lost revenue or faced other difficulties due to the surge. Gov. Tim Walz also put forth a $10 million relief package in February. Both proposals did not pass. Aaron Sepulveda is legislative and policy director with the Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs. He’s been talking to businesses across the state and he told MPR News more about where things go from here.
