Know your Rights

December 5, 2025 Sheridan Neighborhood Organization

Minneapolis is a Welcoming City – a place where all should feel safe, respected and included, regardless of immigration status. The City of Minneapolis works hard to put these values into policy and practice because we know that when everyone in our city feels like they belong, we all benefit.

What to know in interactions with ICE (federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement):

You have the right to stay silent and to talk with a lawyer.

You have the right to refuse to sign any document until you talk to a lawyer.

You have the right to not open your door until you see a warrant.

Stay as calm as you can, and do not run away.

Learn more about your rights in interactions with ICE from the Immigrant Defense Project.

How to prepare:

Make a plan to prepare your family.

Carry a “know-your-rights” card.

Keep your immigration papers on you at all times.

Meet with a lawyer to learn about your immigration options.

Learn how to prepare for an immigration encounter. Attend a workshop, information session or community hours.

Merger Exploration Update

November 8, 2025 Sheridan Neighborhood Organization

Dear Community Members,

We are pausing the community vote on the proposed merger at this time. After reviewing the recent presentation, we’ve determined that there is not enough data to make an informed decision.

We’re working to put together a stronger, more complete presentation of the information. Our goal is to provide a clear, data-driven overview that fully reflects the needs and benefits for both neighborhoods as well as a more in depth analysis.

We plan to present the updated information at the January Community Meetings for both SNO and STAWNO, where the vote will resume.

Thank you for your understanding and continued participation as we work toward a transparent and informed process.

Sincerely,

SNO & STAWNO
