Although Gov. Walz hasn’t issued a state-wide curfew for Tuesday, curfews have been issued in the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, New Hope, Robbinsdale, Maple Grove, Columbia Heights, and Crystal following civil unrest due to the Brooklyn Center police shooting of Daunte Wright on Sunday.
