Investigative journalist and former Florida U.S. House candidate Laura Loomer is urging supporters of former President Donald Trump to rally in front of the Fulton County Jail on Thursday.
“I will be in Fulton County covering the processing of President Trump in Georgia! Please show up and peacefully rally in support of Trump!” Loomer wrote in a tweet, urging supporters to bring their Trump flags, shirts, hats, bullhorns, and love for the former president.

Loomer’s tweet comes after Trump announced Monday that he will be turning himself in to the Fulton County Jail after he and 18 of his allies were indicted last week for their alleged roles in attempting to “overturn” the results of the 2020 election in the Peach State.
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday,, “Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History. In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for “Murder,” but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL! She campaigned, and is continuing to campaign, and raise money on, this WITCH HUNT. This is in strict coordination with Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ. It is all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”
The former president also revealed Monday that his bond has been set at $200,000
When Trump surrenders on Thursday, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), there will be a “hard lockdown of the area surrounding the Rice Street Jail, meaning no ingress or egress during that time.”
In the meantime, the FCSO is accepting media inquires to receive Trump’s official booking photo, as Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat previously told reporters, “We are following our normal practices, so it doesn’t matter your status – we’ll have a mugshot ready for you.”
