The Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, served as the courthouse for the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged in the death of George Floyd. The incident occurred on May 25, 2020, in South Minneapolis, sparking widespread protests and national attention. The building, completed in 1977, houses county administrative offices and courtrooms, functioning as a central hub for local government operations. During the trial, security measures were significantly heightened around the courthouse, reflecting the gravity of the proceedings and the public interest they generated.
