Michigan protesters taking part in “Operation Gridlock” on Wednesday to demonstrate against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order chanted, “Lock her up,” and “We will not comply.”

Thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Lansing in their cars while flying “Trump 2020” and American flags to protest coronavirus-focused restrictions they said are excessive. Many got out of their cars and on to the lawn of the state Capitol building.
