A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press that the incident happened at Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, Arizona.

Chauvin was convicted in the 2020 murder of Floyd, which sparked violent protests nationwide. The Bureau of Prisons said there was an incident at the prison at around 12:30 p.m. Friday. The agency said employees at the prison contained the incident and performed "life-saving measures," on an inmate, but didn't confirm it was Chauvin.

According to the Bureau of Prisons, the inmate was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment. The incident marks the second incident at the prison in around a year. In November 2022, an inmate at the prison's low-security camp attempted to shoot a visitor in the head, but the weapon was misfired.

Chauvin was sentenced to a 21-year federal sentence for federal civil rights charges and a 22.5-year sentence for the state-level charge of second-degree murder. The prison time is being served simultaneously. Chauvin’s lawyer, Eric Nelson, wrote in court documents last year that his client should be kept away from other prisoners. The incident comes as Chauvin is trying to make another attempt to overturn the federal civil rights conviction.

Chauvin said in a filing earlier this month that he wouldn't have pleaded guilty in 2021 if he was aware of the theories of a pathologist from Kansas, whom he's now in contact with.

Man, 68, in critical condition after unprovoked punch on Manhattan subway was latest victim of anti-Asian hate: witness

This is awful, and just another showing at how screwed up this world is… While a 68-year-old man got sucker punched in the face by a stranger on a Tribeca subway train, leaving him in critical condition, was the latest victim of anti-Asian hate, a good Samaritan who helped the victim told the Daily News. Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden are blaming Trump, and White Supremacists for “violence” against Asians? But the guy who punched this man is a black guy and not a Trump supporter from the looks of it I think he’s probably a Biden/Harris fan. I doubt this guy is a Trump supporter…

“You motherf—ing Asian,” the snazzily-dressed man yelled, according to witness George Okrepkie. Without warning, the 6-foot-2 attacker walloped the victim in the face leaving him covered in blood that dripped down his jacket. The attacker threw what appeared to be a balled up newspaper before punching the victim, Okrepkie said. “I was in a state of shock,” said Okrepkie, 55, the CEO of AX Trading, who happened to be sitting across from the victim in the nearly empty subway car. “It’s an incredibly disgusting attack on an Asian American.”

“I tried to go after the assailant but he took off,” Okrepkie said. “I went back to the elderly gentleman, took off my scarf and wrapped it around him, waiting for the EMT and NYPD to show up.”

Medics rushed the victim to New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan, where he was in critical but stable condition, police said. Family members told NBC New York he is Sri Lanken. Police have not yet designated the attack a hate crime.

“I took photos of the incident to show that crimes keep happening in NYC subways week after week,” Okrepkie said. “I just had lunch with a friend of mine, who is Asian American, and it’s brutal to see the rise in crimes against Asian Americans.”

The assailant fled the train but not before surveillance cameras captured him walking through the station looking at his cellphone. Cops released images of the suspect Sunday and asked the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down. He is believed to be about 30. Okrepkie says he will be back on the train Monday. “If I saw this happen again, I would do the right thing and help again,” he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential. The attack comes as violence has picked up in the subway, despite a roughly 75% drop in ridership since the pandemic. All while crimes and attacks against Asian-Americans have increased as well.

Noel Quintana, a Filipino American, was slashed across the face in an unprovoked attack on an L train while on his way to work on Feb. 3rd. Quintana, who has stitch marks from one side of his face to the other, has since spoken up and petitioned against the disturbing trend of Asian American hate crimes in NYC.

On Friday, a man slashed a victim in the face on a Bronx train after getting in an argument. The assailant pulled out a box cutter as the train pulled into the Cypress Ave. station around 9:30 p.m. and sliced him above the lip, cops said.

Earlier Friday, a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the arm and the leg in an unprovoked attack onboard a Brooklyn No. 4 train rumbling into the Nevins St. station around 12:10 a.m., cops said.[More New York] NYPD officer, facing criminal charges for Queens chokehold, busted off-duty for firing his gun into ocean: cops »

500 additional police officers were deployed in February into the transit system to deal with the alarming amount of attacks. Asian American leaders said the 2020 White House was one of the primary propellers of a rising number of anti-Asian incidents during the pandemic. As former President Donald Trump used terms like “kung flu” and “China virus,” attacks, shunning and hate toward Asian Americans soared.

But in 2021, there’s an Asian American woman at the helm. Her job right now is critical, AAPI activists said. Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden gave statements to the press Wednesday condemning the Atlanta killings and extending thoughts to the victims’ families. They are both scheduled to travel to Georgia on Friday in their first scheduled joint trip since taking office. Officials said the two will talk to Asian American community leaders, but the details of the trip, including whether or not they will meet the families of the shooting victims, remain unclear.

“Our prayers are extended to the families of those who have been killed,” Harris said. “To our Asian American community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged. … None of us should ever be silent in the face of any form of hate.”

Facebook Taps Former Obama Official As Vice President Of Civil Rights

So if you wondered which side Facebook was on this should not come as a shock to anyone. Once again showing their true colors, and biased ways Facebook has officially hired former “Obama/Biden” official as Vice President of Civil Rights.

Roy Austin Jr. has been named Facebook’s vice president of civil rights, a new position within the company with the mandate to oversee its accountability on racial hatred and discrimination on its platform.

Now I wonder who he will make his target? Look they can hire whoever they want but doesn’t it make you wonder why an Obama/Biden insider? When they’re also targeting Conservative Republicans on their own platform? This just doesn’t look like a bypartisan hiring by Facebook.

But we all know they’re total socialist leftists… So this should not shock anyone. I’m sure they will keep hiring these sort of Obama/Biden cast off from their misAdministration as the silencing of anyone they don’t like continues.

Naming Austin to the position comes six months after a scathing independent audit found that the company had made “painful decisions [not to control content] with real world consequences that are serious setbacks for civil rights.”

The auditors had several recommendations, such as calling on Facebook to do more to rein in hateful speech on its platform, and stricter penalties for users who post items that violate company standards.

The auditors also advised Facebook to create a position to lead the company’s efforts on civil rights, even after acknowledging the company had taken several positive steps in that direction. Those included barring advertisers from using tools that target housing, employment and credit ads at individuals based on gender, age or ZIP code.

“I am excited to join Facebook at this moment when there is a national and global awakening happening around civil rights,” Austin said in a statement.

“Technology plays a role in nearly every part of our lives, and it’s important that it be used to overcome the historic discrimination and hate which so many underrepresented groups have faced, rather than to exacerbate it,” he added. Facebook said Austin will be based out of Washington, D.C.

He comes from the law firm Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis LLP, where he was a partner focusing on criminal defense and civil rights law. Earlier in his career, Austin held several positions within the U.S. Justice Department, including senior assistant U.S. attorney in the Civil Rights Unit of the Washington, D.C., U.S Attorney’s office, and deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division from 2010 to 2014.

After that Austin worked on the White House Domestic Policy Council in the Obama administration. He also worked on President Obama’s Task Force on 21^st Century Policing and was a member of Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Task Force.

Laura Murphy, a former American Civil Liberties Union executive, who was hired by Facebook to lead a two-year investigation into the company’s polices, applauded Austin’s hire.

“The appointment of a Civil Rights Vice President is an historic, positive and timely milestone in the evolution of Facebook,” Murphy said in a statement.

“Roy Austin is a great choice for this role; I worked with him extensively during his tenure at the White House. I urge Facebook to give him the latitude and resources to tackle the audit recommendations and any other civil rights issues that arise,” she added.

Just how much “latitude” Austin ultimately gets remains to be seen.

Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s co-founder, CEO and controlling shareholder, has the final say in any decision made at Facebook.

Pressure has been building for Facebook to implement changes to its platform following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on Memorial Day.

The audit was released in the immediate weeks following Floyd’s killing, just as national protests calling for a reckoning on race, police brutality and social injustice were gaining momentum. As NPR’s Shannon Bond reported in July, the audit of Facebook came at the same time hundreds of companies pledged to pull advertising from the platform to protest its lax approach to policing harmful posts.

Bond also reported at the time that advocacy groups, including Color of Change, the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League held a conference call with Facebook executives to press for change, but hung up disappointed with the social media network’s response.

“They showed up to the meeting expecting an ‘A’ for attendance,” Rashad Robinson, President of Color of Change told NPR at the time.
