MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The latest on Black Lives Matter demonstrations to protest the police killing of a young black man in Minneapolis (all times local):
8 a.m.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport police are out in full force to ensure smooth Christmas Eve travel a day after a mass protest led to disruptions.
Airport spokesman Patrick Hogan said Thursday that there’s no reason to believe there will be a repeat of protests that led to traffic backups and security checkpoint shutdowns at a secondary terminal Wednesday.
He says eight people were arrested at the airport during the Black Lives Matter-organized protest that began at the nearby Mall of America. Hogan says six people were cited on trespass charges and released while two were taken into custody on gross misdemeanor charges.
Bloomington police report four protest-related arrests at the mall.
