On January 21, the @stpaulcitycouncil.bsky.social unanimously urged Gov. Walz to issue an eviction moratorium to keep families housed and support communities impacted by the federal immigration surge. Learn more at stpaul.gov/council

On Jan 21, the City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Tim Walz to implement an eviction moratorium.

Keep Families and Businesses Safe
Urge Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium as fear and disruption from the federal immigration surge put homes and livelihoods at risk.

Impact on Residents
Residents are afraid to leave home—avoiding work, school, and daily life—causing income loss and risking eviction.

Impact on Small Businesses
Reduced hours and closures are draining revenue while rent remains due, putting many, including immigrant-owned businesses, at risk of eviction.

What Happens without an Eviction Moratorium

Thousands of vulnerable families would face evictions as soon as February 1

Workers may be forced to leave their homes when it isn’t safer to do so

Communities become more unstable and risk greater harm

People across the country are watching how Minneapolis and Saint Paul respond to support our immigrant neighbors.

Call to Action

An eviction moratorium would:

Protect residential and commercial tenants

Support small businesses that rent their space

Give our community the time it needs to stay safe

The resolution was introduced by Council Vice President Kim and reflects shared leadership across the City Council and the Mayor’s Office.
