Commemorating the Casualties of the Heartbreaking Event in Minneapolis, Minnesota
On August 27, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation in remembrance of the victims of the violence that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The proclamation, signed on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, will see the flag of the United States flown at half-staff at various locations.
The flag will be flown at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds. It will also be lowered at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government. The proclamation extends to foreign facilities, including military facilities and naval vessels and stations, as well as to all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad.
The flag will remain at half-staff until sunset on August 31, 2025. However, the proclamation does not specify a new date for the flag to be flown at full-staff after sunset on August 31, 2025, nor does it provide any additional information about the violence in Minneapolis.
The proclamation is a mark of respect for the victims of the violence, but it does not specify any additional length of time for the flag to be flown at half-staff beyond August 31, 2025, at foreign facilities. Additionally, there are no search results reporting any atrocities committed on August 27, 2025, in Minneapolis, nor identifying victims of such events.
The proclamation does not provide any additional details or offer explanations about the violence that occurred in Minneapolis. It simply serves as a symbol of the nation's mourning and remembrance for the victims. The proclamation was signed by Donald J. Trump, marking a solemn occasion in the history of the United States.
