Department of Safety Commissioner John Harrington said they are contact-tracing the arrested and added that an investigation is underway about white nationalist groups posting online to encourage their members to use the protests as a cover to create chaos. ...some of the 40 arrests made in the Twin Cities Friday night were of people linked to white supremacist groups and organized crime. “The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. “They are coming largely from outside the city outside the region to prey on everything we have built.”
All the claims by the mayor and others regarding the protestors have turned out to be complete false. Officials blame 'out-of-state' agitators but those at the heart of protests are homegrown https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...rs-mostly-homegrown-not-outsiders/5300362002/
