ALBANY - Police had prepared for the worst and hoped for the best, and their hopes were realized when a rumored rally by supporters of President Donald Trump failed to materialize on Sunday.
The barricades were set up and three layers of fences cordoned off the steps to the New York Capitol awaiting a possible repeat of the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 but the statehouse area remained quiet, as did statehouses across the Mid-Atlantic states.
State, local and federal agencies said they were well prepared to address any threat at New York s Capitol amid intelligence chatter targeting statehouses nationwide.
