Minnesota Using ‘Contact Tracing’ to Determine if Agitators ‘Organized Cell of Terror’

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington told reporters on Saturday that his agency is using “contact tracing” to identify the associations of rioters arrested in the state on Friday. “We have begun analyzing the data of who we’ve arrested, and begun actually doing what you would think as, almost very similar to our COVID. It’s contact tracing,” Harrington said. “Who are they associated with? What platforms are they advocating for? And we’ve seen things like white supremacist organizers who have posted things on platforms about coming to Minnesota,” he said. “We’re checking to see if people that we have made arrests on and that we have information, are they connected to those platforms. We’ve seen flyers about protests where folks have talked about they’re ‘going to get their loot on tonight,'” Harrington said.

He said Minnesota authorities are looking into whether the individuals are “part of an organized criminal organization, and if so, what is that organization and how are they organized,” he said. Harrington said all levels of government are analyzing whether it is “organized crime.” “Is this an organized cell of terror?” he said. Gov. Tim Walz said they were talking about it to get “the media” to do additional investigations on the individuals and their connections to organizations.

Lil Wayne Interviews Anthony Fauci About Coronavirus Predictions

Rapper Lil Wayne interviewed doctor Anthony Fauci — the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — on his new radio show, Young Money Radio. “I want to say thank you for even considering being on this show, Dr. Fauci, I really do want to say thank you,” said Lil Wayne as he introduced Dr. Fauci to his show, which is hosted via Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio. “You made a prediction that the U.S. could experience 100,000 to 200,000 deaths,” the Grammy-winner added. “I saw a week later, you were forced to revise that estimate. What number do you think we’re at now?”

Fauci estimated that the United States will likely see between 120,000 to 140,000 coronavirus deaths this year. “Well, as you mentioned correctly, Lil Wayne, we’re over 100,000,” said Fauci. “And we still have a number of states, cities, regions, that have active transmission of infection. So although we don’t want to predict an exact number, I think it’s probably going to be at least another 20 or more thousand, maybe 120,000, 140,000.” “You gotta be careful, because you know, all of these predictions that we’ve made over these months have turned out to not be completely accurate,” added Fauci. “If we don’t make sure — as we’re trying to ‘open up America again’ — to get things back to normal, there’s gonna be people who are going to get infected, and we may get rebounds.” “So we need to be able to prepare ourselves to respond to those rebounds,” affirmed Fauci.

The rapper then asked whether Fauci thinks that returning to normalcy will increase the risk of infection. “I see a lot of cities opening back up and people partying in large numbers,” noted Lil Wayne. “Do you think this will affect the numbers of deaths?” “I think it will,” said Fauci. “I think that if you look at the dynamics of an outbreak in any given state, city, or county, or region, if the infection level is really low, they can afford to be a little more brisk in how they open up and get back to some form of normality.”

But if you have a state our a county or a city in which there’s still a lot of active infection, and you jump out there and prematurely do the kind of mingling and get rid of the distancing — you know, you saw those pictures on TV of people crowding at bars and at beaches — you gotta be careful of that because you might be tempting to fate to allow there be a rebound infection, so you gotta do this with care with prudence.

To date, the 21 states that have eased lockdown restrictions since May 4 haven’t experienced significant increases in Chinese coronavirus hospitalizations and fatalities, according to an ABC News investigation. The report also said there wasn’t a spike in the rate of people testing positive for the disease. “I hope we’ll get a vaccine,” added Fauci at one point during the interview. “By December?” asked Lil Wayne. “We’ve already started the early phases of the vaccine trial in a number of different candidates,” said Fauci. “And we hope that if we get lucky — and I’m cautiously optimistic that we will — that by the end of this calendar year, the beginning of 2021, that we would have a vaccine that we could deploy to people throughout the country, and then other vaccines maybe throughout the world,” he added.

Jail records appear to contradict Minnesota leaders' claims that most protesters were from other states

Jail records indicate that a significant majority of protesters who have been arrested in Minneapolis are from the state of Minnesota, which contradicts earlier claims from state leaders. The online Hennepin County Jail log shows that 45 people were arrested on Friday and Saturday so far and that 38 of those people have addresses within the state, according to public records reviewed by Fox 9. However, the records contradict statements made by a number of Minnesota legislators who blamed the apparent increase in tension on out-of-state bad actors but only viewing jail records could misconstrue the demographics of all the protesters in the state. "They are not from our state, and they're coming from the outside," Sen. Amy Klobuchar said, according to USA Today. "We cannot move forward when people are burning down our city."

Gov. Tim Walz said during a press conference on Saturday that rough estimates indicate that about 20% of protesters are Minnesotans, and the rest are from other areas. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said in the morning conference, "What we’re seeing now is a group of people who are not from here. We don’t know these folks." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey also alleged that the protests, which are in response to the death of George Floyd, were originally protesters trying to honor Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed while in police custody, but have been overrun by "white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region." Similarly. Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar referenced the same the claim in a statement calling for Minneapolis residents to stay home. "Right now, our grief and pain is being exploited. People primarily from outside our city are destroying black and minority-owned businesses in our city," she said. "We can't let them. Let us all prioritize justice for George Floyd, police reform, alongside the safety of our community and the prevention."

Major protesting and riots have broken out in more than a dozen cities following Floyd's death while in police custody. Floyd was killed after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, used his knee to apply pressure to Floyd's neck to keep him pinned down. He held the unarmed man accused of a forged $20 bill in that position for about nine minutes until he was unresponsive. Chauvin was taken into custody on Friday and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
