A massive crowd of protesters against President Trump filled the Texas state Capitol in Austin, hours after the grounds were evacuated for what authorities called a "credible threat" against state legislators. State police said shortly before the event began that they had arrested a suspect in connection with those threats.

Don't be Abbott's tool" after the governor ordered the National Guard to be on standby for protests across the state. "It seemed like an escalation to me," Martin said.
