Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued an executive order establishing a temporary 8pm to 6am curfew for Minneapolis and Saint Paul on the heels of protests in the city over the killing of George Floyd.
“Because much of the destruction and violence has taken place under the cover of darkness, we must implement a temporary nighttime curfew, in coordination with the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, to ensure public safety,” Walz said in the order.
