UPDATE AT 9:20 P.M. -- LANSING -- State police late today arrested 11 protesters after a day in which 3,000 to 4,000 people thronged the Capitol for a union-sponsored rally against Gov. Rick Snyder's budget proposals.
About 100 people, some from the group By Any Means Necessary, tried to stage an overnight sit-in at the Capitol, but police and Capitol building officials asked them to leave at 5:30 p.m. and again at 6 p.m.
The group, almost exclusively young people, chanted: "Whose House? Our House!" and "Together, united, we'll never be defeated."
But by 6:15 p.m., the group tried to push past police to open locked doors to let more protesters in, but they were blocked by police and refused to leave the building.
Police removed four people and pleaded with the others to leave before getting arrested.
Most of the protesters left, but five remained, sitting on the Rotunda floor, arms locked, ready to get hauled away by police.
The five were handcuffed, arrested and charged with trespassing and hauled to the Ingham County Jail in Mason.
A crowd of about 100 people surrounded the van carrying the five arrested men, chanting, "Let them go."
Before being arrested, Stephen Haynes, 28, of Almont, apologized to the police officers who had to stay in the Capitol long after the building closed.
"They're all missing their dinner," Haynes said.
In total, 11 people were arrested, 10 for trespassing and 1 for resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer. That person was caught trying to get into the locked Capitol through a bathroom window.
"The entire day went really well," said Michigan state Police Captain Gary Nix. "We had a lot of people here doing the American thing, speaking their minds. These last people were late coming and they had a different agenda."
Steve Bankovsky, director of facilities at the Capitol, said they got crowds last year when protesters hoping to end foreclosures tried to occupy the building, but eventually left.
LANSING, Mich. (WZZM) -- Protests are continuing at Michigan's state Capitol over a variety of proposals that could affect union bargaining power and the state budget plan offered by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder.
About 2000 demonstrators stood outside the capitol shouting "That's not right!" Later, they paraded inside, chanting, "Whose house? our house!"
Gerald Kariem, a regional UAW director from Grand Rapids, told WZZM 13, "I think we're here because there's an obvious assault on the middle class."
The criticsm was directed at the Republicans who control the legislature and the governor's office. One of those republicans, State Senator Rick Jones of Eaton County, spoke to a reporter while watching the protest.
"What this shouting will do is get everybody out on a nice spring day," said Sen. Jones. "I honestly don't think it's going to make a lot of difference, but I welcome protests."
Democratic leaders in the Michigan Legislature announced the introduction of a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at protecting collective bargaining rights.
Republicans hold the majority in the Legislature.
Snyder on Wednesday said the rallies are part of the democratic process. Snyder said he hopes protesters will look at the "big picture" of his plans to improve Michigan's business climate and state budget situation.
