Black Lives Matter fence in Minnesota at center of row in city on edge

City sent couple letter stating their fence violates ordinance as a Blue Lives Matter slogan appears on fence two blocks away

A simple suburban fence in Minnesota that has become a local attraction and a symbol of the battle for equality - but has also drawn critics - is now at the center of a row with the authorities.

Ryan Weyandt and his husband, Michael Hainlin, keep bumping up against deadlines to obey a city order to paint over the vivid statement adorning their fence declaring that Black Lives Matter.
