The Justice Department (DOJ) on Tuesday announced that six people are facing federal charges for participating in riots and civil unrest in South Carolina in May.

In the wake of George Floyd’s death, many people around the country took to the streets to protest against police brutality and the use of excessive force by law enforcement. While many protests were peaceful, some cities saw rioters engage in violent acts, looting, and rioting, leading to the widespread destruction of public and private property, as well as injuries, and deaths.
