Fast fünf Jahre nach dem Tod des Afroamerikaners George Floyd durch Polizeigewalt will die US-Regierung von Präsident Donald Trump Ermittlungen gegen Polizisten in ähnlichen Fällen einstellen.

Overview

  • The Trump administration has formally ended or reviewed federal investigations into alleged racial discrimination by police in Louisville, Minneapolis, Memphis, and four other cities.
  • Civil rights attorney Ben Crump condemned the DOJ's move as a betrayal of George Floyd's legacy and vowed to continue legal challenges.
  • The DOJ accused the Biden administration of filing last-minute lawsuits during its final months, alleging unconstitutional policing practices in Louisville and Minneapolis.
  • President Trump removed the Black Lives Matter mural near the White House in January 2025, symbolizing a broader rollback of racial justice measures initiated after Floyd's death.
  • Speculation persists that Trump may pardon Derek Chauvin, the former officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, who is serving a 22½-year prison sentence.
