AFP, REUTERS Previous NextThousands of protesters in cars with horns honking drove around Michigan's state Capitol to protest stay-at-home orders imposed by governor Gretchen Whitmer. Whitmer also previously drew national attention by trading jabs with President Donald Trump over the spread of the coronavirus in her state. The debate over how and when to reopen the economy has led to friction between Trump and the states, particularly Democratic governors, whom he branded "mutineers."

They converged on the Capitol steps and surrounding the grounds, most without face coverings and none observing safe social-separation guidelines.
