Curfew will be extended across Minneapolis-Saint Paul by one day, beginning tonight at 8pm until 6am Monday

Governor Tim Walz announced today that he is extending the temporary nighttime curfew for one night to provide safety for Minnesota residents from individuals who have engaged in unlawful and dangerous activity in recent days and threatened the security of lawful demonstrators and first responders.

“The curfew on Friday and Saturday night allowed our law enforcement to target those who meant to do harm to our communities,” said Governor Walz.

We have reason to believe that bad actors continue to infiltrate the rightful protests of George Floyd’s murder, which is why we are extending the curfew by one day.”

During the curfew, no one is allowed to travel on Minneapolis and Saint Paul streets or public places, except for first responders, members of the media, people going back and forth to work, individuals seeking emergency care or fleeing danger, and people experiencing homelessness.

The MACC will serve as a unified command of several different law enforcement and public safety agencies to support the state’s response.
