Despite Warnings, Many State Capitols See Only Small Protests And Quiet Streets
In Michigan, Sunday's protest in Lansing was deemed "eclectic, but small and dull." It wasn't alone.
Police were on high alert in state capitals around the U.S. Sunday, after warnings that pro-Trump extremists might attempt to storm legislatures similar to the assault on the U.S. Capitol last week. But at many statehouses and capitols, security and the media outnumbered protesters.
The streets were quiet in Washington, D.C., where police, the military and security agencies are intent on preventing any far-right groups from reports. Thousands of National Guard members are fortifying security at the Capitol and along the National Mall.
