State officials across the Country are preparing for what could be violent demonstrations in support of President Donald Trump in the days leading up to the January 20th inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
Many states, including California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Florida, had activated their National Guard forces to reinforce security as of Saturday.
According to TMZ, in addition to high alert patrolling of major cities across the country, sources are also reporting that law enforcement will also pay close attention to other important landmarks around the United States.
There will be a overwhelming number of security around the Trump Tower and other locations linked to Trump, in addition to officers patrolling around City Hall in the days leading up to the ceremony.
A source notes that while there are no specific threats to these buildings, NYPD simply doesn’t want to take any chances.
Five people died in the U.S Capital riot, and many arrested, which happened after Trump repeated false claims of fraud in the November election and encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol. Since then, a second impeachment has happened and he has been banned from several social media platforms – including Twitter.
