Multiple public commenters alleged physical assaults and hateful language during protests outside McMorran, asked the council to enforce the local 'Joshua Conant' ordinance requiring training and background checks for venue security, and said they will press charges and seek investigations.

City Manager James Fried said the city had about six days to prepare for the president’s visit, praised police, fire and McMorran staff for security coordination, and said an after-action report will be posted on the city’s open-government page.
