Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) on Friday announced he is enacting a nighttime curfew for the city this weekend, between 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., as the city reels from violent protests over the death of George Floyd. 

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) requested on Thursday that “protesters” in the City of Lakes practice social distancing and wear masks to reduce coronavirus transmission. The municipal government claimed to provide hundreds of masks to the public for this purpose.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said there isn’t a good answer for why the arresting officer in the death of George Floyd is not behind bars and called for the arresting officer to be charged.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had requested a Justice Department investigation into the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis.

Left-wing rioters attacked supporters of President Donald Trump leaving a rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday evening — assaulting them in groups, setting fire to pro-Trump hats, and attacking the police.

“We look forward to seeing everyone Thursday night,” said Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale in a statement announcing the news.

The Trump campaign claimed victory late Tuesday in its battle with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a first term Democrat elected in 2017, who wanted the campaign to pay more than $500,000 in security expenses for Thursday’s rally at the Target Center.

“This is an outrageous abuse of power by a liberal mayor trying to deny the rights of his own city’s residents just because he hates the President,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement sent to reporters. 

President Donald Trump is planning to host a rally in Minneapolis next week, but local officials are already opposed to the decision.
