Due to the evacuation, a planned protest in support of Democrat Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced to relocate.

CBS Austin reported:

Parts of the Texas Capitol grounds were evacuated and closed to visitors on Tuesday evening after reports of an active shooter threat.

The building itself was shut down, prompting a protest in support of Representative Nicole Collier to move outside.

Despite the partial closure of the Capitol, the grounds initially remained open, allowing Representative Nicole Collier to wave to her supporters from a window.

Protest organizer Melody Tremallo said she was shown a video of the threat. “The captain came up to me and informed me that there was likely going to be… likely going to clear out the Capitol building on the grounds due to an imminent shooter threat. I was shown the video of somebody whose rhetoric basically went to the effect of…,” Tremallo said, and then CBS Austin’s reporter Andrew Freeman heard DPS announce it was closing the grounds.

Rep. Collier — one of the Texas Democrats who fled the state to break quorum — has been locked inside the Texas House Chamber since yesterday.

She spent last night there after refusing to sign a “permission slip” that would require her to be escorted by a state trooper.

More Texas Democrats are expected to join her “protest” by refusing to sign the slips and leave the Capitol tonight.

After DPS closed the Capitol grounds, the left-wing protests in support of these rogue Democrats continued on the street:
