In the wake of demonstrations in Sacramento protesting the state’s stay-at-home order, the California Highway Patrol says it will stop issuing permits for demonstrations on state property.

CHP Officer John Ortega told The San Francisco Chronicle: “In the interest of public safety and the health of all Californians during the COVID-19 pandemic … effective immediately the California Highway Patrol will deny any permit requests for events or activities at all state facilities, to include the state Capitol, until public health officials have determined it is safe to gather again.”
