Armed supporters of President Trump descended on state capitals nationwide today as members of the anti-government Boogaloo Boys brandished semi-automatic weapons near the Michigan State Capitol while Washington, DC, was turned into a fortress.

The nation’s capital looks like a military zone with National Guard and local police setting up checkpoints and a huge perimeter outside the US Capitol building just 10 days after it was stormed by MAGA rioters.

Despite the heavy military presence, a 22-year-old Virginia man was arrested for possession of three high capacity magazines, 37 rounds of unregistered ammunition, and a Glock gun near the US Capitol on Sunday while a Connecticut woman was detained for impersonating a police officer as the nation’s capital remains on high alert in the days leading up to Wednesday’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, security was beefed up around State Capitols nationwide.

In Michigan, armed protesters began gathering outside the State Capitol in Lansing on Sunday.

Members of the anti-government Boogaloo movement were seen outside the statehouse just after noon.

At its peak, there were about 100 armed protesters, though they were outnumbered by police from several departments, the National Guard, and members of the news media, according to the Lansing State Journal.

Washington, DC, police said they noticed Guy Berry, 22, of Gordonsville, Virginia, walking on the 200 block of Massachusetts Avenue NE just after midnight on Sunday with a gun ‘clearly visible’ in a holster.

He was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, and unregistered ammunition.

A day earlier, Linda Magovern, 63, of Stratford, Connecticut, reportedly approached US Capitol Police officers at an inauguration checkpoint on First and Columbus Circle in Northeast Washington, DC, at around 8:45am.

According to police, Magovern showed officers a military police challenge coin while claiming that she was part of law enforcement and a member of the presidential cabinet.

Police then instructed Magovern to put her car in park and turn off the engine, according to WUSA-TV.

When one of the officers asked Magovern to show her driver’s license, she allegedly began driving forward.

Officers then repeatedly asked her to stop the vehicle.

Magovern is then alleged to have fled northbound on Columbus Circle.

She was eventually stopped in front of 50 Massachusetts Avenue and arrested.

She has been charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and fleeing from police.

Police and National Guard troops stood sentry at newly fortified statehouses Sunday ahead of demonstrations planned for the leadup to Biden’s inauguration, as authorities worked to deter a repeat of the recent riot that overran the US Capitol.

A few protesters were starting to gather in some cities, but streets in many others remained empty.

About two dozen people, several carrying long guns, protested outside the Ohio Statehouse, observed by several of the dozens of state troopers positioned around the building.

Several dozen people – some carrying American flags – gathered at South Carolina’s Statehouse.

Tall fencing also now surrounds the US Capitol, the National Mall is closed to the general public, and the District of Columbia’s mayor asked people not to visit.

Some 25,000 National Guard troops from around the country were due in the city in the coming days.

The stepped-up security measures were intended to safeguard seats of government from the type of violence that occurred at the US Capitol on January 6, when a supporters of Donald Trump swarmed the building while Congress was certifying the Electoral College vote.

The FBI has warned of the potential for armed protests at the nation’s Capitol and all 50 state capitol buildings beginning this weekend.
