City of Minneapolis leaders, police and emergency responders are urging residents that protests remain peaceful in the aftermath of the federal shooting in Minneapolis earlier this week. Thirty people were detained, cited and released Friday evening/Saturday morning after blocking roadways and damaging property during a downtown march.

"I'm inspired by the countless community members who have showed up to provide food, advocate for justice and keep the peace," said Mayor Jacob Frey. "For the vast majority who have ensured we don't take the bait from the Trump administration, I'm grateful. But if anyone causes property damage or puts others in danger, they will be arrested. We are standing up to Donald Trump's chaos not with our own brand of chaos, but with care and unity."

Friday into Saturday, a large crowd of several hundred people gathered near the Canopy Hotel and Depot Renaissance Hotel downtown to protest. As of this morning, here are updates and timelines on several reports overnight:

• The Depot Renaissance Hotel has approximately $6,000 in damage to windows and in graffiti.
• Around 8:30 p.m. - Minneapolis Police responded to a report of a vehicle driving toward a building but found no visible damage to the building or the surrounding area. Preliminary information indicates that a possibly intoxicated woman parked the vehicle, walked around the area and entered a nearby hotel prior to officers' arrival. While investigating, a crowd formed around officers, but they were able to leave the area. One officer has minor injuries that did not require medical attention.
• Throughout the evening, the crowd moved downtown, at times walking in and block roadways. Some people threw snow, ice and rocks at officers, police vehicles and other vehicles in the roadway.
• Around 9:45 p.m. - a group returned to the Canopy Hotel where some forced entry into the hotel through an alley entrance. Hotel security was able to control the situation, and people left.
• Around 10:15 p.m. - MPD declared an unlawful assembly and issued multiple dispersal orders. Some individuals were detained, cited and released. The main crowd began to disperse. A smaller group continued moving through downtown. Others remained near the Canopy Hotel, where additional dispersal orders were issued, and more individuals were detained and cited. The unlawful assembly declaration ended around 1 a.m.
• Around 200 officers with MPD, Minnesota State Patrol and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assisted throughout the night.

Peaceful protesting

People have the right to peacefully protest and exercise their First Amendment rights. People can assemble peacefully in public spaces and on sidewalks, not roadways or freeways. They can carry signs and chant. They cannot throw objects, start fires or damage property. They also cannot use fireworks or weapons.

Police role in community safety

MPD does not participate in the enforcement of federal civil immigration laws. However, police may be called to a scene if there are safety concerns. At the scene, officers are there to find out what's happening and calm the situation to keep everyone safe. Know how to identify Minneapolis employees' uniforms.
