Austin (USA), June 14 (EFE).- Authorities in Texas (USA) arrested a person on Saturday in connection with the \"credible\" threat that led to the evacuation of the State Capitol prior to a protest against the Donald Trump government.<\/p>\n
The arrest took place during a traffic stop in La Grange, a town located 100 kilometers east of Austin, the state capital, according to a statement from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).<\/p>\n
The authorities have not yet identified the suspect, but assured that there is no longer an \"active\" threat and that the investigation into the event remains open.<\/p>\n
The Texas State Capitol - the seat of the legislature was evacuated this Saturday afternoon due to a \"credible\" threat to lawmakers who planned to participate in the national call to protests against the Donald Trump government.<\/p>\n
The demonstration, which joins the hundreds of calls across the country, drew thousands of people to the city center, with banners criticizing the president and his immigration policy.<\/p>\n
The protests, called by progressive organizations, coincide with President Trump's birthday and the military parade in the country's capital to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
More than 2,000 demonstrations are expected in the 50 states of the country to protest against what the organizers call the \"authoritarianism\" of the Government of the Republican leader.<\/p>\n
The threat to lawmakers in Texas comes on the same day that two state congresswomen from Minnesota, in the north of the country, were attacked in their homes.<\/p>\n
Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in what appears to be an act of political violence, as reported by the state governor, Tim Walz, in a press conference.<\/p>\n
While Democratic state senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, allegedly by the same assailant, and were injured.<\/p>\n
Authorities highlighted that the attacker posed as a police officer and was wearing a bulletproof vest, a gun, and a badge.<\/p>\n
In addition, they assured that the suspect's vehicle contained a \"manifesto\", as well as a list with names of people, including those of the two politicians who were shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
