Police detain about 1,200 after Bolsonaro supporters storm capital

Thousands of supporters of Brazil's right-wing former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed the National Congress and other government buildings in the capital Brasilia on Sunday in an attack that echoed the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The latest: President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who took office less than a week ago and was in São Paulo at the time of the attacks, along with the presidents of Brazil's upper and lower houses of Congress and the Supreme Court on Monday signed a decree repudiating what they described as "coup acts in Brasilia."
