Immigration in Minnesota

Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States, centered in Minneapolis, and the largest urban Hmong population, in Saint Paul. Combined with employers like Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, Cargill, and Target, the state has one of the most distinctive immigration landscapes in the Midwest. Major population centers include Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester and Saint Cloud.

Work ranges from medical and medical-device employment visas (around Rochester and the Twin Cities) to a very large humanitarian docket — asylum, adjustment, and family work — for the Somali, Hmong, Karen, and Oromo communities, handled through the Fort Snelling (Bloomington) immigration court.
