State capitol buildings across the nation braced for armed protests following a warning from the FBI that demonstrations could take place from Saturday until President-elect Biden’s inauguration on January 20.
While small groups of protesters, some armed, arrived at several state capitol buildings in Ohio, Texas, Oregon and Michigan, the gatherings were largely quiet on Sunday, according to journalists reporting from the statehouses across the US. Many states had fortified the statehouse buildings with National Guard troops in anticipation of potential violence.
