A man was arrested after DPS identified a “credible threat” toward legislators attending Saturday’s “No Kings” protest at the Texas State Capitol.

The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a "credible threat" that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.

"With the exception of a small number of agitators, the event remained largely peaceful," the Austin Police Department said.

On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.

The “day of defiance” protests began as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, another elected representative speaking while under apparent threat of assassination, gave a roundup of recent disturbing news headlines. He pointed to the shooting in Minnesota, and the incident Thursday when California Sen. Alex Padilla was aggressively arrested on camera. The crowd booed.
