Minnesota news, US news.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he is forecasting more arrests tonight than any other night of protests so far.

The Governor said that the situation will get worse if the protests keep happening. Adding that even innocents may be charged if they're found going out while protests are happening.

Gov. Tim Walz said that the curfew is meant to give the police and the state officials the legal authority to arrest people who are protesting and even those who are not.

The governor said that the public may collaborate with officials and help them identify those who are starting the violence.

"What I would ask today is if you know where these people are sleeping today, let us know and we will execute warrants," Walz said. "Call that in, tell us who they were. They're not from Minneapolis, but they're staying down here."
