National Guard Surrounds US Capitol Ahead of Biden Inauguration
Security was increased around the US Capitol in Washington on Thursday, January 14, ahead of Inauguration Day, after Trump supporters violently took over the Capitol on January 6.
Reports said officials expect about 20,000 National Guard members to serve as security in Washington. Other security measures include a protective perimeter around the White House, a number of street closures, and changes to public transportation, according to reports.
