AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) The Texas Department of Public Safety announced the Texas Capitol will be closed Saturday until Wednesday out of abundance of caution. The Texas Department of Public Safety is aware of armed protests planned at the Texas State Capitol this week and violent extremists who may seek to exploit constitutionally protected events to conduct criminal acts, said DPS Director Steven McCraw. As a result, DPS has deployed additional personnel and resources to the Capitol and are working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Austin Police Department to monitor events and enforce the rule of law.

Several dozen protesters gathered Sunday afternoon outside Washington state’s Capitol building, which is surrounded by temporary fencing and National Guard members.
Protesters some opposing vaccines, some in support of President Donald Trump and others objecting to the closure of the building to the public during the upcoming legislative session held signs and listened to speakers.
Sunday’s event was small and peaceful, with many people leaving the area by 3 p.m., in comparison to another protest that took place Wednesday where Trump loyalists some who were armed stormed the governor’s property in Olympia.
Later in the afternoon, Black Lives Matter protesters held their own event at Heritage Park adjacent to the Capitol Complex.
