Dann said her concerns and those of other group members include “targeting Muslims” and increased surveillance.

“A lot of people are angry,” she said.

An estimated 800,000 people are expected in Washington for Inauguration Day, including tens of thousands of protesters.

Protesters at one checkpoint near the Inaugural Parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue before sunrise Friday had already tried to block a checkpoint by sitting in the streets. Police lifted them over a barricade, but no arrests were made.

On Thursday night, Trump supporters attending the “Deploraball” at the National Press Club Building, just blocks from the White House, were met by hundreds of protesters. Some sprayed Mace, and a passerby with a gash on his head said he was struck by a bottle that was thrown.

Fox News’ Guerin Hays, Jake Gibson, Matthew Dean and Griff Jenkins and FoxNews.com’s Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

Why does it seem,  in recent times that the ‘peaceful transition of power’  is a one-way street? Protest is a right, bit violence isn’t.  These people are neither liberal,  nor conservative.  They are just criminals.
