City leaders in Minneapolis say federal immigration enforcement operations cost local businesses and restaurants $81 million in January.

Mayor Jacob Frey and other city officials in a news conference on Friday discussed the economic impact they say Operation Metro Surge had on residents, communities and operations last month. 

Workers afraid to leave home and go to work lost $47 million in wages, the city said, and hotels lost $4.7 million in revenue from cancellations extending through the summer.

In total, officials say the city has “experienced at least $203.1 million in impact,” as a result of the operation.

Frey said people around the country have asked how they can help Minneapolis. 

“The answer is, upon this Operation Metro Surge ending, come to Minneapolis. Support these local entrepreneurs. Support these immigrant-owned businesses that have added so greatly to the fabric of our communities and the fabric of these corridors,” he said.
