Talks by activists of potential armed protests across the country have security officers on a higher level of alert at the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck.
The threats have come as federal investigations continue into an invasion of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 by a number of supporters of President Trump who were attending a rally to protest Electoral College results.
“We are working with various agencies to try to gather any intelligence, seeing if there’s actually any threat to the Capitol. We are going to plan for the worst case scenario,” said Sgt. Wade Kadrmas, safety and education officer with the North Dakota Highway Patrol. The highway patrol oversees state government security.
