Dozens of Trump supporters gathered outside the jail in Atlanta where former President Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in on charges related to his efforts to remain in power after his 2020 election loss
, accused by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of participating in a sprawling scheme to undermine the will of Georgia voters who had narrowly rejected the Republican incumbent in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.
“I’m here to support Donald J. Trump. I want him to see some of the millions that show up at the polls for him." The main Fulton County Jail, also known as the Rice Street Jail, is located in a traditionally industrial part of northwest Atlanta where warehouses are currently being redeveloped for retail and residential use. It's set back from the street by a long, tree-lined driveway that leads to a parking lot in front of the jail's imposing façade.
Security tightened further on Thursday. While cars had been allowed on the Rice Street side of the jail a day earlier, sheriff's deputies cut off vehicle traffic on Thursday. They also set up barricades to keep protesters and media back. Some deputies wore vests and covered their faces with black masks. They formed a line along the street.
