Woody Kaine, 24, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree rioting at the counter-protest rally on Saturday, according to St. Paul, Minnesota police, who said they clashed with Trump supporters.
Kaine, along with four others, was released from jail on Tuesday, pending further investigation. No charges have been filed against him or the others.
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, a St. Paul native, released a statement on Tuesday night.
"We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues," Kaine said in the statement, according to the Minnesota Pioneer Press. "They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully."
Supporters of US President Donald Trump held "March 4 Trump" rallies across the US on Saturday.
Several hundred Trump supporters rallied at Minnesota's State Capitol. Police estimate the rally attracted 400 Trump supporters, who were met by 50 anti-Trump protesters.
Speeches had been going on for about half an hour when a group tried to disrupt the event. At one point, someone set off a smoke bomb. Police said it struck a woman in the head, but she was not injured.
Security guards intervened, skirmishes broke out, and someone sprayed a chemical irritant into the crowd. The anti-Trump demonstrators left and the rally resumed.
St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders told the Pioneer Press that Woody Kaine was seen with four people lighting fireworks inside the Capitol building. Police are investigating the claim.
Kaine was arrested with the four others less than a block from the Capitol.
Linders said police detained Kaine after "he turned around and squared up to fight with the officer."
"The officer was able to place Mr. Kaine under arrest and take him to Ramsey County jail for booking."
Police arrested a sixth person at the Capitol.
My Back Pages Bob Dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon, " said I, proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, "rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Girls' faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy
To memorizing politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists, unthought of, though somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality, " I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
