Shoutout Norm: During Monday night's State of the State address, Gov. Tim Walz took a moment to share a story from local Bluesky poster Norm Charlatan, who recently flew down to Texas to help bring back a man who was detained by ICE and released without any cash or ID at a bus station in San Marcos. It's just one of many incredible stories of Minnesotans standing up for their neighbors. [CBS News]

Plan ahead: It's time to lock in Mother's Day brunch reservations, and the Star Tribune put out an excellent list of 32 places to take the mom in your life. Some spots that stood out to me: Earl Giles and The Howe are both offering free mimosas for moms, The Drake is slinging churros and Mexican hot chocolate, and Chloe is serving up all sorts of seafood.

Still no answers: Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renée Good, has been reassigned to duties in another state and allowed to return to work. Counter to previous reporting that the DHS and FBI were running concurrent investigations into the shooting, DHS officials say they cannot start their internal investigation into Ross until the FBI probe concludes. As the FBI probe has stalled with no clear end in sight, Ross will be permitted to continue working for the foreseeable future. [Daily Beast]

Will crowds come back? Latino-owned businesses on St. Paul’s West Side are hoping this year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration will help jumpstart recovery after months of losses tied to Operation Metro Surge. Many businesses saw steep drops in customers and revenue as immigration enforcement kept people home, and some even reduced staff or hours to stay afloat. The festival brings tens of thousands of people out each year, but organizers say fear of ICE's continued presence in the cities could still keep some folks away. [Sahan Journal]

Unequal care: A new study of healthcare outcomes in states across the country ranks Minnesota highly overall, but stark racial disparities still exist here. White Minnesotans experience the best healthcare outcomes, scoring in the 91st percentile of all population groups nationwide. American Indian and Alaska Native people face the poorest health outcomes in the state, scoring in the 13th percentile. [MPR News]

Stop for school buses: A new Minnesota law requires drivers to stop at least 20 feet behind a school bus whenever red lights are flashing, even if the stop sign hasn't swung out from the side of the bus. A grant program from the state of Minnesota has also outfitted more than 8,000 school buses with cameras to help catch drivers who aren't stopping. The fine for failing to stop behind a school bus is $500. [Pioneer Press]
