PHOENIX, Ariz.—A steel fence and barbed wire will remain at Arizona’s Capitol complex until officials decide it’s safe to remove them in the aftermath of an angry mob nearly breaching the state Senate building on June 24.

Law enforcement fired tear gas into the crowd of pro-abortion protesters who damaged the Senate building’s front entrance and wrote graffiti on historical monuments at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza.
