The Justice Department is working toward dropping reform agreements with police departments in Minneapolis and Louisville, Ky., after killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in those cities drew national attention.

Minneapolis officials say the city will adhere to a federal consent decree ordering expansive reforms to its police force despite the U.S. Department of Justice's plan to end its investigation into the department.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, announced the decision days before the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
