Razor Wire Security at Hennepin Courthouse, Minneapolis

Derek Chauvin Razor Wire at Hennepin Courthouse
Razor wire fencing, a security measure, surrounds the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. This installation was part of Operation Safety Net, a multi-agency effort to provide security during the Derek Chauvin murder trial. The trial, which began with jury selection on March 8, 2021, followed the death of George Floyd and subsequent protests. The fencing was erected to ensure the safety of the courthouse and its occupants during this period of heightened tension.
