Episode description
An effort to open up a big swath of federal land near the Boundary Waters to copper-nickel mining has been stripped from the massive budget bill moving through Congress.
Several dozen people protested outside the Sherburne County Jail in Elk River today in support of a St. Paul woman arrested for alleged actions during a raid in Minneapolis last week.
Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Bright. Music by Gary Meister.
