LANSING Gov. Gretchen Whitmer activated the National Guard, the state police continued to augment its presence at the Capitol and crews installed a 6-foot, chain-link fence around the 142-year-old building before expected protests ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The Legislature on Friday also canceled session next week, citing law enforcement’s concerns about “credible threats regarding events” at the Capitol.
Michigan State Police Col. Joe Gasper said an unknown number of demonstrators were expected to gather on the grounds Sunday, a week-and-a-half after the deadly breach by a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters at the U.S. Capitol. Troopers were being mobilized from across the state and will be joined by the National Guard and local law enforcement.
