The Justice Department’s efforts to restore law and order amid riots and chaos that occurred in the wake of George Floyd’s death have led to the arrest of dozens of individuals over the last two weeks.
Federal authorities have charged at least 81 individuals as of 5:25 p.m. on June 12, according to a document, obtained by The Epoch Times, that outlines details of the arrests made since late May when the nationwide protests began.
Among those charges, about 40 were arrested for committing acts of violence including using Molotov cocktails, setting fires, damaging property, and looting.
While many of the protests remained peaceful as people flooded the streets to call for change over police brutality and policing practices, some cities were faced with the violent activity that has led to significant property damage and more than a dozen deaths.
Senior officials have attributed the violent activity observed amid protests over Floyd, a black man who died in the custody of Minneapolis police, to extremist organizations such as Antifa. Attorney General William Barr said in a press conference on June 3 that Antifa and other similar groups and “actors of a variety of different political persuasions” have been behind the recent violent activities in order to carry out their own separate agendas.
Barr said these actors were capitalizing on the protests to “engage in lawlessness, violent rioting, arson, looting of businesses, and public property assaults on law enforcement officers and innocent people, and even the murder of a federal agent.”
In Seattle, protesters have occupied and barricaded off part of the city, dubbed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, after the police were driven out of the East Precinct building, which was the site of violent clashes...

First time I’m reading about this. Keep arresting.
Its being done quietly....but its being done.
Trump did say that it stops now.
I guess this is what he meant.
Only 80? What a joke.
Its being done quietly....but its being done.
Derp...fat finger....lol
Gotta start somewhere.
I'm guessing quite a few will sing.
"First to squeal gets the deal."
One of my relatives is dating an ICE agent. Told me 2 weeks ago that they have SILENTLY nabbed and deported hundreds every week during the china virus lockdown because...they were HOME. This is in 2 months time.
Easy pickings because they’re not out working obviously. And this time, as long as the media keeps quiet and dont know what they’re doing in the meantime, the better .
There are things that are not worth mentioning in the news.
Great news—it gets a lot easier once you _get_ _it_ that the mass media is fighting for the other side.
The mass media has done it to themselves.
You don’t have to get many if you are getting the right ones. Soros being dealt with would make all of this go away overnight.
Said Jeffrey Epstein
I know of house parties where more people were arrested...
This is a sad joke.
Damning of the local enforcement efforts.
The media won’t mention that because it would spoil the lockdown they want to keep imposed on the rest of us. Right now that’s a bigger priority than complaining about illegal aliens being deported.
Auction George Soros for the person that puts a round through his head. Donate appropriately.
A new Federal prison in northeast Alaska is called for. Polar bears gotta eat, and escapees would probably be tasty to them
I think that is exactly what Epstein was going to do, but the forces of evil murdered him first. He was a skank, but I wish the government had gotten all the information out of him, before he was murdered.
Then there is the other side of the coin. Maybe the government really did NOT want to hear what he had to say, since maybe some of their names would have been bandied about too. 🤗🤪
Have they arrested Soros yet?
Why is DOJ arresting people?
