"Trump's Unprecedented Arraignment: New York Prepares with Barricades and Courtroom Closures"

New York City police have set up barricades around Trump Tower and blocked roads near Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in anticipation of potential protests ahead of Donald Trump's expected surrender to prosecutors on Tuesday. The former president is due to be arraigned at the courthouse Tuesday afternoon, after his indictment in a grand jury probe over hush money paid to a porn star. Trump is the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges. The downtown courthouse, home to criminal and supreme courts, will shut down some courtrooms ahead of Trump's expected appearance, a court official said.
