"How Have U.S. and State Capitols Braced for a 'Proposed Secondary Attack' Near Inauguration Day? We Asked Authorities in All 50 States for Answers."

We'll keep updating this story as we receive responses, @lawcrimenews.

lawandcrime.com/terrorism/how-…
Here are some of the responses we've receive so far.

A Little Rock PD public information officer, by phone:

"We're finalizing some contingency plans. We mostly do support."

Arkansas state authorities referred comment to their Capitol Police.
Georgia DPS:

"We are aware of potential protests on Jan. 17. However, we do not share our operational plans."

Atlanta PD:

"At present, there are no verified threats to indicate that violent activity is being planned in the City of Atlanta." ImageImage
Hartford PD:

"[A]long with [CT] Capitol Police, the Hartford Police monitor social media for upcoming events and we are in communication with each other. The Hartford Police Department’s role would be outer perimeter/scan for threats and to assist Capitol Police if necessary." Image
Louisiana State Police:

"In coordination with Capitol staff, LSP continually monitors potential security concerns to ensure safety for protesters, Capitol grounds, and the surrounding community." Image
Ohio State Highway Patrol:

"We would not discuss security measures, personnel or resources used to maintain security at the Statehouse for safety reasons." Image
Dover PD (Delaware):

"We have not issued any permits for any planned protests, but are aware of discussions involving possible protest activity. We are monitoring the situation and keeping in contact with the local intelligence community and law enforcement partners." Image
There are several more in my inbox to be added to this thread soon.

Read the article at the top of the thread.

From what I understand, multiple state authorities—unlike their federal counterparts—have delivered press briefings on this issue.

Vermont's will begin shortly.
Pence's home state:

"The Indiana State Police is aware of postings on social media regarding January 17th and we will continue to monitor that while also communicating with our local and federal law enforcement partners." Image
Pennsylvania:

"We are confident that PSP has the resources in place to protect Pennsylvanians against threats and to work with all levels of law enforcement to keep the Commonwealth safe." Image
Utah authorities confirm a "couple permits" have been granted for outside the capitol in Romney's home state on Jan. 17, adding police have "increased staffing and continued monitoring of open source media to discover/meet any potential threats posed by bad actors." Image
Juneau PD (Alaska):

"We are aware of the rallies being talked about across the country and are taking appropriate precautions. We are working with State, Local, and Federal authorities in making sure Juneau is safe."
Colorado State Patrol says the state is not issuing permits due to COVID-19:

"We have been monitoring events on the national level and will continue to monitor for possible events in Colorado." Image

Closing arguments are about to begin in the trial of Judge Hannah Dugan. I'm reporting live from the courtroom.

Catch up with my coverage of the defense case on All Rise News.

Follow along here buff.ly/yddYCRo
As always, the government's up first:

"On this first day in this courtroom, you took an oath: Just like the defendant did."

[...]

"What happens when someone with the highest duty to uphold the law decides that it doesn't apply to her?"
Prosecutor Kelly Brown Watzka:

"It undermines the entire justice system."

"Imagine what would happen if every judge decided which law to obey or follow."

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

A federal judge BLOCKED feds from RE-DETAINING Kilmar Abrego Garcia this morning at an immigration check-in.

A quick thread storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Per emergency court filings:

After Abrego’s release on the grounds that there was no valid order of removal, an (Trump executive branch) immigration judge issued an order correcting the so-called “Scrivener’s Errol” at 7:01 pm ET. Image
Abrego’s lawyers sought emergency relief on the ground of, essentially, that’s not how any of this works.

They needed before the time of Abrego’s ICE check-in by 8 am TODAY.

Judge Xinis granted it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
