JUST IN: Texas Capitol Evacuated Due To Threats During ‘No Kings’ Demonstration
The Texas State Capitol Building in downtown Austin has been evacuated due to “credible” threats towards state lawmakers meeting to attend a protest later today.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Capitol and Capitol Grounds were evacuated around 1 p.m. and both remain temporarily closed,” the Texas Department of Safety announced in a press release. “DPS continues working with our law enforcement partners to address the threat. As this investigation is ongoing, no additional information is available.”
DPS further announced that it will be collaborating with additional state law enforcement agencies to investigate the threats and ensure that the city’s anti-Trump protests remain peaceful.
“DPS will collaborate with all local, state and federal law enforcement partners to ensure the safety of our citizens and state property, as well as to protect individuals exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and free speech. As with any incident response, the department adjusts its operations, including personnel and resources, as needed to address potential and emerging threats,” the release continued.
While protests have remained peaceful in Austin as of this report, violence erupted earlier this week when a far-left mob surrounded a federal building and clashed with ICE agents and Austin Police Officers. The city, like many cities nationwide, are bracing for potential violence from Antifa-linked groups later tonight.
Violent imagery has been seen at many of the inorganic “No Kings” protests, which have been organized by groups like Indivisible in more than 1,500 communities across the United States. Images obtained by the Daily Caller shows a man wearing a shirt reading, “When Civil War II starts I got dibs on Stephen Miller” at the D.C. protest.
Other protesters in D.C. could be seen holding up pro-Antifa signs and gear, while one demonstrators even displayed a North Korean flag outside the White House.
Anti-Trump, pro-open-border protesters are hanging ANTIFA propaganda and signs that say “86-47” on the White House fence.
They need to be arrested. This is the same assassination threat @Comey made that got him investigated by @SecretService. @FBIDirectorKash @dbongino pic.twitter.com/jjYndtQcC6

In Minnesota, “No Kings” signs were found in a vehicle belonging to the suspected gunman who killed a Minnesota lawmaker and seriously wounded another. Minnesota officials are urging residents not to attend demonstrations while the suspect is still on the loose.
