The US Secret Service, in collaboration with its partners, is actively working with inauguration and Congressional officials to adjust security plans in response to the inclement weather forecasted for Washington, DC, on Monday. The Secret Service emphasized the need for flexibility in their security measures to ensure the safety of all attendees.
As preparations continue, the Secret Service announced that there will be additional impacts on vehicular, public transportation, and pedestrian traffic in the vicinity of the Capital One Arena. This adjustment aims to enhance security protocols and minimize potential risks during the inauguration ceremony.
Reports indicate that fencing has already been erected around the Capitol, and security measures are being implemented to safeguard the area. The US Capitol Police, in coordination with the Secret Service and other agencies, are working diligently to secure the Capitol and its surroundings for the upcoming event.
Due to security concerns, the Capitol will be off-limits to the public during the inauguration. Instead, individuals are encouraged to gather at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, DC, where a live viewing of the ceremony will be available. Additionally, the inauguration parade is scheduled to take place at the arena, providing attendees with an opportunity to participate in the historic event.
