Minneapolis City Hall and Hennepin County Government Center are seen under snowfall as security preparations are underway for the Derek Chauvin trial. The historic courthouse, completed in 1909, is a prominent example of Beaux-Arts architecture. The surrounding area, including the plaza, has been fortified with fencing and barricades in anticipation of potential unrest. This measure reflects the heightened security concerns surrounding the trial of the former police officer accused in the death of George Floyd, which occurred in Minneapolis.
