Lang, a right-wing provocateur who was pardoned for charges tied to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, has held similar rallies in recent weeks. <\/p>\n

He also hosted an anti-immigration protest in Minneapolis in January, in the days after the killing of Renee Good. Good, 37, was fatally shot by a federal immigration officer, prompting national outrage. Ahead of the rally, Lang promised to burn a Quran at the site of the demonstration <\/a>but did not appear to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
