🚧😂To be fair, some days even I can’t tell if the road is open or not during our ‘construction season’!

After some Waymo robotaxis drove into closed construction zones, the company implemented a recall to fix underlying software issues.

📢✊🏾From the beginning of Operation Metro Surge, I have been clear: our immigrant neighbors deserve safety, dignity, and constitutional protection.

I am deeply concerned by reports that federal authorities are now targeting community members who observed enforcement activity, documented what they saw, and stood with families during a frightening time for Minneapolis.

Peaceful protest, community observation, and standing with immigrant families are protected rights. They should not be treated as a crime.

Violence has no place in our city. But neither does intimidation or the criminalization of people who speak up when their neighbors are afraid.

👉🏾I will continue to stand with immigrant communities, defend the right to peaceful protest, and insist that every level of government respect the Constitution and the dignity of the people of Minneapolis.

The U.S Attorney’s Office said it would announce charges today against multiple individuals and groups who opposed immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota.

📢🦺Today I joined violence interrupters in Cedar-Riverside for a community walk with CM Robin Wonsley and Neighborhood Safety Director Amanda Harrington.

As we continue working to build safer neighborhoods, it is important to listen to the people doing this work every day. Violence interrupters play an important role in building trust, connecting people to resources, and helping prevent conflicts before they escalate.

I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from community members and frontline workers about the challenges they are seeing and the opportunities ahead.

Public safety is strongest when residents, community organizations, violence interrupters, and the City work together.

👉🏾Thank you to everyone who welcomed us and shared their experiences.—Jamal

📢🛞Today I stood with rideshare drivers, labor partners, community members, and fellow Council Members to begin an important conversation about autonomous vehicles and the future of transportation in Minneapolis.

Many of the drivers who joined us today are immigrants, working parents, and neighbors who have used this work to support their families, build economic stability, and create opportunity for themselves and their communities.

A few years ago, many of these same drivers came to City Hall asking for fair pay and fair treatment. Together, we worked to make sure their voices were heard.

Today, they are raising important questions about automation, accountability, public safety, and what the future of transportation work will look like in Minneapolis.

Those questions deserve to be heard too.

I am proud to stand with workers and the labor organizations that have long fought for dignity, fairness, and opportunity on the job.

For me, this conversation is not really about being for or against technology. Innovation has always been part of our city’s growth.

The question is whether we have the right rules, safeguards, and public accountability in place as these technologies continue to develop.

👉🏾Technology should work for people. And because workers drive Minneapolis and keep it moving every day, their voices must be part of shaping what comes next.

📢⚽️Denying entry to Omar Abdulkadir Artan after a cleared visa is unacceptable. This is the direct result of U.S. immigration policy under Trump, and FIFA World Cup allowed this disgrace to happen.

👉🏾The beautiful game is being betrayed. Boycott the U.S.-hosted World Cup!

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Very sad news. 💔😭

Top African referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan has been denied entry into the United States after arriving for the 2026 World Cup. 🇸🇴

He has been sent back to Turkey, with no clear reason given so far.

More details are expected to emerge.

📢💪🏾Strong communities are built when neighbors know one another and stay connected.

👉🏾I encourage residents to check out this event and take advantage of the opportunity to connect with the people and resources that help keep our city safe.

Hope to see you there.—Jamal
