Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have suggested that white supremacists and Russians were behind the destruction in Minneapolis. 'We are now confronting white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region.' Asked if he was aware of reports that white supremacists had been involved in the looting, Governor Walz said that based on his “suspicions and what I've seen on this, yes."
Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington, meanwhile, said that they were analyzing those who had been arrested and seeing if they were linked to extremist groups. “We have seen things like white supremacists organizers who have hosted things on platforms about coming to Minnesota,” he said, adding that officials are looking to see if people involved in the protests are connected to criminal organizations.
