Prosecutors have taken action to prevent gangs from gathering at the Minnesota State Fair. This approach has been used before to safeguard community events from gang conflict. The strategy has a precedent in Minnesota, having been employed in the past.

Specifically, it was used in 2009 and 2015 to protect against gang-related issues during community gatherings. Further information on this development can be found in the Star Tribune, which reported on the prosecutors' lawsuit. Details on the current situation and the expected outcome are available from this source.
