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.

A suspect was arrested in connection with threats made against state lawmakers who planned to attend Saturday's "No Kings" protest at the Texas Capitol in Austin, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Despite warnings from the governor, the Texas National Guard was largely not a factor during Saturday’s “No Kings” protests. The seeming lack of presence was a welcome sight for at least one Austin state senator who attended the Capitol protest.

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.

Millions of people across the country protested the Trump administration across on Saturday, including in Austin.

Saturday's event at the Capitol remained peaceful. The Texas Department of Public Safety made one arrest earlier in the day related to threats against state lawmakers who were expected to speak.

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.

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.
