St. Paul clears Fish Hatchery encampment as residents seek next steps

St. Paul began clearing the Fish Hatchery encampment at Pig’s Eye Park, forcing about 100-200 residents to confront uncertainty as city outreach connects people with shelter, housing and health services. While volunteers and residents warn the move could fracture community care, some plan to relocate to other camps or remain on long housing wait lists. The city opened a two-week transitional hub downtown to link residents to shelter, care and financial assistance, with limited storage and rides for those who accept shelter.

St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her faces fresh harassment allegations as probe widens

New allegations against St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her surface as an outside law firm investigates a formal harassment complaint by Police Chief Axel Henry. A former deputy chief says Her made inappropriate comments about breasts, engaged in other conduct, and altered images displayed at police headquarters; she reportedly placed her portrait over officers’ faces and circulated edited UFC images. The deputy chief reportedly retired due to the alleged behavior. Her’s spokesperson did not immediately comment, and she says the portrayal doesn’t reflect what happened while stressing respect for the investigative process and that city priorities continue.

Horned Rabbits in St. Paul: Shope Virus Turns Bunnies into Frankenstein Figures

In St. Paul and the Twin Cities, rabbits infected with Shope papillomavirus develop horn- or tusk-like growths. The non-curable virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks and is most active in warmer months. Officials say the prevalence can wax and wane; the Minnesota DNR notes metro infections without confirming a rise, while the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota has treated seven affected rabbits this year. Domestic rabbits may require veterinary removal of growths.
