Hennepin County Government Center: Trial Security Fencing

Hennepin County Government Center Derek Chauvin Trial Security
Temporary security fencing is erected around the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in anticipation of the Derek Chauvin murder trial. The installation of this fencing, part of Operation Safety Net, was a measure to secure the courthouse and manage potential public gatherings during the high-profile trial, which began jury selection on March 8, 2021. The courthouse complex, a significant piece of Brutalist architecture in downtown Minneapolis, was the site of the trial for the death of George Floyd, an event that sparked widespread protests and unrest.
