AUSTIN, Texas — A man has been arrested after the Texas Department of Public Safety identified a “credible threat” toward legislators attending Saturday’s “No Kings” protest at the Texas Capitol.

The Texas State Capitol and surrounding grounds are temporarily closed to the public on the afternoon of Saturday, June 14 after the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed the agency had fielded a "credible threat" targeting state lawmakers attending the No Kings, Kick Out the Clowns protest slated for later in the evening.

Lawmakers are on alert after an assassin killed one Minnesota state lawmaker and attempted to kill another before fleeing from authorities.
