Small Business Administration (SBA) head Kelly Loeffler said Saturday that the agency’s Minneapolis office is being relocated, citing “overwhelming local hostility” toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in recent days.
“Since Day One, I have been clear that SBA will not continue to surge resources to communities that refuse to protect their small business owners by impeding this Administration’s efforts to deport and detain criminal illegal aliens,” Loeffler wrote on the social platform X. “We will relocate our offices to cities that comply with federal law – and take seriously their responsibility to promote public safety on Main Street.”
It was not immediately clear whether the relocation would be permanent.
Tensions reached a boiling point in the city this week following the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good, who was shot and killed in her car during a confrontation with an ICE officer.

Isn't she special?
Have no idea what ICE, an office of DHS, has any connection to SBA. The federal government has district/regional offices for ALL of their agencies in MN, located somewhere in the Twin Cities metro area (with satellite offices elsewhere in the state). She doesn't have independent authority to randomly "move" an office. That is something that involves GSA and Congress, as Muskrat soon discovered.
