Oath Keepers Hat at 2019 Minneapolis Trump Rally Protest

During demonstrations outside President Donald Trump’s campaign rally at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis on October 10, 2019, a man wearing a hat bearing the Oath Keepers insignia asked for directions near the crowd. The rally drew both Trump supporters and counter-protesters, filling Hennepin Avenue with thousands of people and heavy police presence. The Oath Keepers, founded in 2009, is a far-right, anti-government militia organization whose members have been linked to armed protests and later to the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack.
