Minnesota National Guard members were deployed to secure the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis during the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd in 2021. The courthouse complex, a significant civic structure in downtown Minneapolis, was surrounded by enhanced security measures, including fencing and visible patrols, to maintain order and prevent disruptions. This deployment underscored the heightened tensions and the national significance of the trial, which followed widespread protests against police brutality.
