Kenosha Police revealed that a majority of the individuals arrested during the riots that rocked the city following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake were not from Kenosha.
"As of 12:30 p.m. August 30, 2020 a total of 175 people have been arrested," the department said.
"Of the people processed during this week, 102 listed addresses from outside of Kenosha."
People were arrested for curfew violations, carrying concealed weapons, burglary, and drug possession, the police said.
The information regarding the 'out-of-town' rioters comes as Republican lawmakers call for investigations into who is funding the protests across the country.
The Justice Department needs to open an investigation into who is funding these violent riots.
In addition to Rep. Ken Buck's request, Sen. Rand Paul, who was attacked with his wife while leaving the Republican National Convention on Thursday, said the FBI should make arrests and look into the "Interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines."
