ST. PAUL, Minn.– Tensions continue to rise across the country as the Presidential Inauguration nears. Now some states are taking extra precautions to make sure their own capitol buildings are safe.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other state leaders laid out some of their plans for next week as they try to protect the capitol and the surrounding area from potential threats.
The governor said he’s working with law enforcement, taking every action necessary to make sure the state capitol is protected. In response to last week’s capitol riots, an act Walz says was an insurrection incited by the president.
