US Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger reportedly said ahead of the event that the force is aware of "a small number of recent online threats of violence" during the rally.The rally was expected to see around 700 participants gathering to support the roughly 570 rioters identified by the FBI - through the use of cell data - who participated in the deadly 6 January insurrection.

Some media covering the rally suggested that the number of protesters was lower than that of law enforcement officers. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger reportedly warned ahead of the event that violence could erupt, but there have been no reports of unrest.

"There are uniformed officers here whom I demand you respect, you're kind to, you're respectful to and you're obedient to. They're here to keep us safe and we're counting on them to do that, and we know that they will".

"There’s also many members of the media here, and I make the same request of them. You see somebody [that’s] a member of the media, be kind and respectful to them".
