Signs like this went up at City Hall after the protest on Tuesday.

After protesters demanding removal of a Confederate monument tried to take their group into Jacksonville City Hall for a meeting with Mayor Lenny Curry this week, the city has enacted a new policy tightening accessibility by the public to the upper floors of City Hall.

Violation can result in arrest.
