A Nobel Peace Prize for Minneapolis? It's a Worthy Idea.

The article focuses on the nomination of Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize due to its community’s nonviolent resistance against a federal immigration enforcement campaign known as Operation Metro Surge, launched by the Department of Homeland Security.
