The Texas Capitol was evacuated Tuesday night due to an alleged social media threat as protestors gathered in solidarity with Rep. Nicole Collier, a Democrat who remains on the House floor in protest rules imposed by the GOP House Speaker. A protest was planned to take place from 7-9:30 p.m, Austin TV station’s KVUE reports. However, just after 7 p.m., the Department of Public Safety cleared the capitol grounds due to the alleged threat.
