Minneapolis In Crisis: City Attorney Hosts Healing Circle With Therapy Goats As Crime Surges

Written by Published

As Minneapolis grapples with rising crime and the visible consequences of progressive governance, city leaders appear more focused on emotional healing than on restoring basic law and order.

According to Gateway Pundit, while federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are being vilified by local officials for carrying out lawful operations against criminal illegal aliens, the Minneapolis City Attorneys Office has rolled out a very different kind of priority. An internal email sent Thursday morning invited staff to a midday healing circle for quiet, supportive connection, immediately followed by a visit from therapy goats beginning at noon.

The message was signed by City Attorney Kristyn Anderson, who included (She/Her) pronouns in her official government signature block, a detail that underscores the ideological signaling now common in progressive bureaucracies.

Townhall columnist Dustin Grage exposed the email on X, posting a screenshot that quickly drew national attention to what many see as a symbol of the citys descent into performative woke politics. Grage wrote: Minneapolis City Attorneys Office emailed staff inviting them to a healing circle with therapy goats. While Democrats fan the flames against ICE agents. City staff are being offered quiet reflection time with goats. This is not parody. This is Minneapolis. His post captured the disconnect between a city struggling with public safety and a political class more interested in therapeutic gestures than concrete solutions.

The internal email, addressed to CAO friends, stated: Human Resources will be facilitating a healing circle from 12:001:00 PM in PSB100AB for any City employees who would like to be in shared space with colleagues. This is intended as a quiet, supportive environment for connection and presence. It continued: As a reminder, therapy goats will also be in PSB100 beginning at noon, and folks are welcome to stop by at any point. Participation is entirely optional. There is no expectation to speak or actively participateattendees are welcome to simply sit, listen, and be in community with one another.

All of this unfolds as Minneapolis officials and allied activists continue to attack ICE for enforcing federal immigration law against dangerous offenders, choosing ideological posturing over cooperation with those charged with protecting the public. Minneapolis does not need quiet reflection time with goats; it needs leaders willing to back law enforcement, secure communities, and reject the failed progressive experiments that have left the city less safe and more divided.
