Hundreds Arrested in Minneapolis, Portland and New York in Post-Election Unrest

Protesters railing at Trump court threat in Twin Cities rounded up and more than 50 arrested in New York as anger erupted in several U.S. cities.

Police across the U.S. have made hundreds of arrests after protesters took to the streets in several cities the night after the yet-undecided election. Protesters represented both pro-Trump factions demanding that vote counting stop in battleground states and pro-Biden groups demanding transparency in vote counting. In Minneapolis, hundreds of anti-Trump demonstrators were arrested after a march moved on to Interstate 94 as part of a protest against the president and his threats to challenge the election results. In Portland, Oregon, at least 10 people were taken into custody after police found a cache of urban warfare weapons including a rifle, fireworks, and several hammers. In New York City, around 50 people were arrested as demonstrations erupted into mayhem. Protesters also took to the streets in Atlanta and Detroit and across Arizona. More than 100 events have been called by a coalition of 165 grassroots organizations called Protect the Results in American cities through Saturday.
