An American flag flies outside the Warren E. Burger Federal Building in St. Paul, Minnesota. This federal courthouse, named after former Chief Justice of the United States Warren E. Burger, serves as a key judicial center for the district. The photograph was taken on Day 3 of the federal trial where former Minneapolis police officers Thou Thao, J Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane were accused of violating George Floyd's civil rights. This high-profile trial followed the widespread protests and calls for justice that arose after Floyd's death. Security fencing is visible around the building, reflecting the significant public and historical importance of the proceedings.
