WXVU talked to a group of protesters in Ohio on Sunday who said that they represented the Ohio Boogaloo Boys.

Reporters on the ground say bike rack-style fencing is around the Statehouse building. Monuments, except the Holocaust Memorial, are behind fencing. Armored vehicles on the ground, as well as a few protestors.
