June 1 George Floyd protest news

Additional “federal assets” will be deployed nationwide to help law enforcement with violent protests, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters during a briefing Monday afternoon.

“There will be additional federal assets deployed, and a central command center in commission with the state and local governments that will include General Milley, and AG Barr,” she added, before declining to give any further details. 

Asked if the President was planning on deploying resources beyond the National Guard, McEnany said he was.

“We’re looking at every tool in the federal tool kit for us, ideally this would have been resolved at the state level. The states, after all, have police power embedded in the 10th amendment, it is their responsibility to patrol their streets,” she said. 

“There are many federal authorities including the one you cited that are available to us,” McEnany added.

The US Secret Service said in a statement to CNN that no one has breached the White House fence line during demonstrations in Washington.

A USSS spokesperson sent the following statement in response to CNN’s inquiries regarding last night’s protests at the White House: 

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was just asked why President Trump hasn’t made an address to the nation regarding protests across the country. She pointed to past statements the President has made and said that statements “don’t stop anarchy.” 

“Continual statements — they don’t stop anarchy. What stops anarchy is action,” McEnany told reporters Monday.  

Asked why he hadn’t addressed the nation, McEnany told reporters that Trump has “delivered multiple statements on this,” pointing to comments he made on the death of George Floyd while speaking at the SpaceX launch on Saturday. 

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice addressed the national outcry over George Floyd's death at the top of his news conference Monday saying, "I don't see how in the world a thing like that could happen, especially when an individual is crying out, you know, and saying they can't breathe."  

The governor applauded residents of his state for their peaceful protesting.  

"How have you done it? You've done it in a peaceful manner," Justice said. "We will be the guiding light again, as we have been in this pandemic."  

Justice also addressed groups or individuals possibly coming into the state "that really want evil" and said "they will absolutely not be welcome in the most stringent ways." 

Boston Police Commissioner William Gross said that of the 53 arrests that happened Sunday night into Monday morning, 27 were Bostonians, 24 were from outside the city, and two were from out of state.  

The head of Minnesota's National Guard Major General Jon Jensen said in a news conference Monday that the governor has called for the partial demobilization of the National Guard in the state.

He added that this is "not an order to return the entire organization back home."

This partial demobilization of troops comes ahead of what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called “a significant event” with the funeral of George Floyd scheduled for Thursday.

There are currently 7,000 Minnesota National Guardsmen mobilized, Jensen said.

Walz said even though they’re planning on relieving active duties from some National Guardsmen, the state will continue to keep in place the multiagency command center they’ve used to communicate throughout the week.

“I think some of you now have witnessed the complexity of something like this it doesn't look like the movies. You have to get everybody on the same frequencies, you have to have communications to move people and when you see an operation move in unison,” Gov. Walz added.

Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown called actions of the Minneapolis police that led to the death of George Floyd embarrassing and described the act itself as "murder" today at a news conference.

Brown, who recounted an encounter with a young protester who was chanting "say his name," explained that the situation left him "embarrassed."  

"I was holding the line supporting the officers. I whispered his name when she chanted to say his name," Brown said.

"We are embarrassed by the cops in Minneapolis use of force, asphyxiating you on the streets of Minneapolis," Brown said.

However, Brown also had strong criticism for people causing destruction in Chicago.

"We stand with Mr. Floyd's family, but to the rioters and looters: you disgraced the name of Mr. Floyd by your actions," Brown said.

"Hate can never drive out hate. Evil can never drive out evil," he added.

More than 80% of the people booked into jail in Minneapolis on riot and other potentially riot-related charges from Thursday to Monday are from Minnesota, according to a CNN analysis of data from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s office. 

Of the 50 people who were booked into jail in the county between noon Saturday and noon Sunday on riot, burglary, unlawful assembly, damage to property, curfew or penalty for not complying charges, 41 had an address listed in Minnesota. There were four from Wisconsin, two from Iowa, and one each from Australia, Nebraska, and North Dakota. 

Between noon Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday, there were 22 people booked into jail on those charges in the county. Of those, 17 had an address listed in Minnesota, or 77%. There were three from New York, one from Illinois, and one with no address listed. The booking numbers for Sunday night could rise as more data is added into the sheriff’s system later Monday.

That brings the total from noon Thursday through Monday morning to 125 jail bookings on various riot and potentially riot-related charges, with 102 listing an address in Minnesota.

Twitter user FrostyTheSkid took a video of protesters dancing the Cupid Shuffle during a rally Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
