Hay un toque de queda en las ciudades de Minneapolis y Saint Paul: Martes 2 de junio desde 10 p.m. hasta miercoles 3 de junio a las 4 a.m.
Today, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights launched an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department after filing a civil rights charge related to the death of George Floyd. This investigation into policies, procedures, and practices over the past 10 years will determine if the MPD has engaged in systemic discriminatory practices toward people of color and ensure any such practices are stopped.
The Department of Human Rights will seek agreement from City of Minneapolis leadership and the MPD to immediately implement interim measures in advance of long-term measures to address systemic discriminatory practices.
City leaders voiced strong support for the investigation today, acknowledging the City needs help from the State and other partners to advance necessary reforms.
Minnesotans with information that can further the investigation into the MPD should contact the Department of Human Rights at mn.gov/mdhr or 651-539-1100.
If you have a tip on the George Floyd case, contact the BCA at 651-793-7000 or the FBI at 763-569-8000.

Please do not enter any damaged buildings. This is very dangerous. The City is blocking sidewalks to keep people away from damaged buildings and working with property owners to secure their properties and get emergency demolitions started as fast as possible.
Property owners seeking to begin emergency demolitions need to contact the appropriate utility providers to make sure natural gas, electrical and water have been shut.

With the loss of grocery stores and other damage affecting people’s access to food, clothing, financial assistance, groceries, medical care and equipment, and medication, the City is compiling this list of resources to help residents.
Note: Information is changing rapidly. Please confirm the locations are still accepting or handing out donations before heading out.
An overview of resources.
If you’re moved to support your community by donating food, the best way to reach hungry people is through food shelves. And the best way to help food shelves is with monetary donations. The dollars go much further through their own purchases, it prevents food donations from spoiling, and it allows the food shelves to purchase specific items that are needed for the community.
Please note that Minneapolis Public Schools is not able to accept food donations or supplies at its food distribution sites or schools at this time.
For information on how to support food shelves and meal sites, please visit the Health Department’s food donations page or view the pdf for specific needs shared by food shelves.
Mayor Jacob Frey's emergency regulation requiring people in Minneapolis to wear cloth face masks or coverings when they are in an indoor place of public accommodation is in effect.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies).
Masks or cloth face coverings can help with preventing your germs from infecting others – especially in situations where you may spread the virus without symptoms. Wearing a mask does not protect you from others who may spread the virus. So, whether or not you wear a mask, you still need to wash your hands frequently, cover your cough, and practice physical distancing by keeping at least 6 feet of space between people.
