Law enforcement is preparing for protests outside the courthouse where Donald Trump is being arraigned on 37 federal charges on Tuesday. That’s more than just a routine response to a high-profile case—after all, Trump incited an attack on Congress in response to losing an election, and he’s again calling for protest. Authorities are monitoring posts on pro-Trump social media sites like his Truth Social, The Donald, and more, looking for credible threats.
Trump is being slightly more circumspect than when he called on his supporters to be in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021 by saying, “Be there. Will be wild.” But he has repeatedly urged his supporters to rally around him–including physically and in person–in response to the federal charges centered on the dozens of classified documents he took when he left the White House and refused to return to the government.
