By the narrowest of margins, the Minnesota House defeated a proposal Monday to withhold state government aid from cities that prohibit police from checking the immigration status of people. The proposal by Minority Leader Marty Seifert, R-Marshall, was offered as an amendment to the House tax bill and rejected 67 to 66. There is another proposal in the House that would prohibit cities from barring officials from cooperating with federal agents on immigration investigations.
