Welcoming city

Minneapolis is a welcoming city. We believe that when everyone feels like they belong, we all benefit.

Regardless of immigration status, we want our city to be:

• Safe
• Respectful
• Inclusive

Separation ordinance

Minneapolis has a separation ordinance. When you come to the City for help, the ordinance says that City employees cannot:

• Ask about your citizenship or immigration status
• Ask you for documents to prove your immigration status
• Use any knowledge of your status to enforce immigration laws
