The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade will return to Minneapolis for the first time since the pandemic
The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade is back in Minneapolis.
The parade, now in its 57th year, has spent the last four years in Columbia Heights, where it moved during the pandemic. Now, it'll return to Nicollet Mall on March 17.
The parade detoured to the north Minneapolis suburb in 2020, where it was easier to host a drive-through parade. It stuck around for a few years after getting support from the community and local businesses.
Now, the parade is working with members of the Minneapolis Fire Department who wanted to see the event return to Minneapolis, board member Mike McDonald tells Bring Me The News.
With support from Minneapolis businesses, it will make its return to its namesake city.
The parade, held March 17 at 6 p.m., will run along Nicollet Mall from 6th Street to 12th Street. After the parade, a party will be held in the Club Room of Brit's Pub.

Lynx continue perfect start with dominant win over Mercury
Lynx continue perfect start with dominant win over Mercury originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Eight games, eight wins for the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx continued their perfect start to the season, dominating the Phoenix Mercury 88-65 Tuesday at Target Center in Minneapolis, improving to 8-0 in the young season. The Lynx are just the eighth team in WNBA history to start a season 8-0. They also hold the all-time record for most consecutive wins to start a season with 13 in 2016. Still a ways to go, but the 2025 team is well on its way to a similar start. It was a bit of a slow start though on Tuesday. Despite shooting a stellar 8 for 15 from the field in the opening frame, Minnesota had five turnovers and faced a 23-19 deficit after 10 minutes. The Lynx came storming back, holding the Mercury (5-3) to just 26 points total over the next two frames as they built a 18-point lead entering the fourth. That stifling defense pretty much put a wrap on the game. Phoenix wasn't able to cut much into its big fourth-quarter deficit, never getting closer than 15. After that, Napheesa Collier got to the rim for an and-1, Bridget Carleton drilled a 3-pointer and Kayla McBride added another from deep to push the advantage back up to 24 points. Carleton's 3 also marked a milestone: She scored the 1,000th point of her career. Both teams emptied their benches with several minutes still remaining in the fourth. The Lynx were dominant despite an uncharacteristically sloppy night as the turnovers never slowed down after that opening quarter. Minnesota had 23 giveaways overall. But the hot shooting never slowed down either. The Lynx shot 59% from the field, 48% from 3 and racked up 29 assists, with four players finishing in double figures. Collier led the way with 18 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Natisha Hiedeman had a big game off the bench with 18 points. Alanna Smith and McBride added 13 points apiece. Lexi Held led the way for the Mercury with 16 points off the bench. Smith and Jessica Shephard both got banged up during the first half, but both players returned to the game and were available the rest of the way after briefly exiting. Tuesday's game was also part of the Commissioner's Cup, the WNBA's in-season tournament, and the Lynx improved to 2-0 in Cup games. The team with the best record in each conference advances to the Commissioner's Cup championship, with teams competing for a $500,000 prize pool. The Lynx are the defending Cup champs. The Lynx return to action on Sunday when they visit the Dallas Wings for a 3 p.m. CT tipoff for a game that will also be a part of the Commissioner's Cup tournament. Napheesa Collier: 18 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal (4 turnovers) Natisha Hiedeman: 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist (4 turnovers) Kayla McBride: 13 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals (3 turnovers) Alanna Smith: 13 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks (1 turnover) Lexi Held: 16 points, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 rebound (1 turnover) Satou Sabally: 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal (3 turnovers) This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Federal operation at Minneapolis restaurant draws crowd of protesters
Federal operation at Minneapolis restaurant draws crowd of protesters originally appeared on Bring Me The News. A federal law enforcement operation involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a Minneapolis restaurant Tuesday was not related to immigration enforcement, according to local officials. A large crowd gathered outside Las Cuatro Milpas, a taco restaurant at Lake Street and Bloomington Avenue South, beginning around 11 a.m. Tuesday as armed, masked agents and vehicles displaying HSI (Homeland Security Investigations), a division of ICE, converged outside the business. Video and pictures from the scene showed agents from several federal agencies, including the FBI, DEA and ATF. In a statement on social media shortly before 2 p.m., Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said no arrests have been made in connection with the operation. "While we're still gathering details, this incident was related to a criminal search warrant for drugs & money laundering and was not related to immigration enforcement," he wrote. Sign up for our BREAKING NEWS newsletters The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office says that it has assisted with the operation, which was not related to immigration. As part of ICE, HSI investigates a "wide range of crimes, including narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, and financial crimes," according to its website. From the HCSO: "HCSO partnered with federal agencies on a criminal investigation and part of that investigation included the execution of multiple search warrants at multiple locations in the metro area, including a business in the area of Bloomington Ave. and Lake St. in Minneapolis. HCSO's role in the incident today was solely focused on that. This incident was not related to any immigration enforcement. HCSO has no involvement in civil immigration. HCSO enforces criminal statutes and works on criminal investigations. We work with federal partners regularly on those criminal investigations." News of the arrival of federal agents quickly spread online, resulting in a growing crowd of protesters outside the premises, chanting at agents to go home. Among those present at the scene are Minneapolis City Council members Jason Chavez and Aisha Chughtai, as well as mayoral candidates Jazz Hampton, Omar Fateh and DeWayne Davis. In a statement, the Minneapolis Police Department said it is awaiting more information about the federal law enforcement operation. "Here's what we do know: MPD was NOT involved in any immigration enforcement activities today, nor were we given advance notice of any such operation," the agency shared. "Any claims to the contrary are false." MPD's statement continues: "After a federal law enforcement operation was already underway, a crowd began to form, and MPD officers arrived to ensure the crowd and the surrounding area remained safe." Em Cassell, editor of Racket MN, reports that those in the crowd have been pepper sprayed by law enforcement.
