Description

Trump supporters and counter-protesters scuffled in New York on Thursday during a gathering in support of the people jailed for storming the US Capital last year, prompting police to intervene.

Dozens of supporters of former US President Donald Trump gathered in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral to hold a vigil for the detainees, including individuals who outwardly identified themselves as 'Proud Boys'. An anti-fascist group disrupted the vigil, resulting in scuffles that police officers suppressed.

Over 700 defendants were charged with alleged crimes connected to the US Capitol riot, with at least 50 already in jail.

Scenes of chaos emerged from the US Capitol after supporters of US President Donald Trump descended on Congress following a 'Save America' march on January 6, 2021. The protest took place on the same day the US Congress was formally certifying the electoral college votes, confirming Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

Supporters stormed the Capitol, clashing violently with law enforcement before the national guard was mobilized. Five people, including a Capitol police officer, died during the storming.
