“We are ready to deal with any mobilizations in New York in the event of Trump’s arrest,” authorities say.

Since Donald Trump stated last Saturday that he anticipated that he would be arrested this Tuesday, the press, followers and detractors remain attentive. At the same time, when he spoke of his arrest, the former president of the United States called for a protest in New York. Faced with this, the city authorities organize for eventual disturbances.

NYPD and US Secret Service Brace for Possible Indictment the Donald Trump and Manhattan, as stated New York Post. According to this medium, a source would have stated that “they would use all the resources that were at their disposal.”

Among the measures being evaluated would be the possibility of restrict vehicle traffic to the Manhattan courthouse before which Trump would appear if charged, which would involve deploying police inside and outside the building.

“We will handle it like we handle anything else”New York Police Chief Kevin Maloney told New York Post. “It’s Lower Manhattan, there’s always a lot of police presence there anyway. So let’s monitor the situation. We will have ample resources and we will see what Tuesday brings,” he added.

Until now, the call to demonstrate in the streets of New York would not have had much impact on the followers of the former president. While, authorities closely monitor internet conversations where there are mentions about riots, violence, blocking the police and stopping any possible arrest if Trump were to be arrested.

The New York Young Republican Club announced plans for a protest at an undisclosed location in Manhattan on Monday, making isolated but related posts on various social media platforms from supporters calling for an armed confrontation with police at Mar-a- Lake, Trump’s property in Florida, as stated Associated Press.

Through the Twitter account of this organization, a call was made to join Trump and “reject the unfair actions of the corrupt Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg”. They also published a link with an invitation to the protest this Monday, March 20 at 6:00 pm (New York time), in Lower Manhattan and valid only for Club members. However, to find out what the address of the meeting point of the demonstration would be, it was necessary to register first.

Until this Monday, the District Attorney’s Office had not confirmed that it was going to file charges against the former president in the course of the investigation that has been underway for five years for the payment of $130,000 to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, allegedly to change from his silence about a sexual relationship during the presidential election campaign in 2016.

Trump denied the extramarital affair throughout, but acknowledged who reimbursed his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, the payment of money to Daniels to “end the false and extortionate accusations made by her.”
