Vigilantes might have started the violence that led to a shooting in New Mexico during a demonstration on Monday, authorities said, and the governor is vowing to hold the "instigators" fully accountable.
A demonstration in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening was in support of a police captain who was removed from command after "a volatile and chaotic situation" at the Christopher Columbus statue in South Philadelphia over the weekend, according to a statement from the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police.
"There is absolutely no space in New Mexico for any violent would-be 'militia' seeking to terrorize New Mexicans; and there is no space for violence of any kind on our streets and in our communities," her statement said.
Videos seen and obtained by CNN from around this time show Baca pushing a woman onto the ground, and two protesters, Sradha Patel and Jonathan Juarez, told CNN the man had been harassing the protesters.
"I am horrified and disgusted beyond words," Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said in a statement on Twitter condemning the "heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a 'civil guard.' "
