Fargo, Duluth, Bemidji: Twin Cities protests echo across the region

While the nation's attention has been focused on the Twin Cities, other Minnesota and North Dakota cities saw protests and enacted curfews on Saturday.

In Duluth, demonstrators marched peacefully to city hall on Saturday afternoon demanding justice for George Floyd, who was killed in Minneapolis police custody. Some protesters later blocked traffic on Interstate 35 for a time. The city then instituted a 10 p.m. curfew.

Mayor Emily Larson said at a press conference that the protesters are mostly local and that the curfew was largely preemptive. She added that there would be a curfew tomorrow night as well.
