(RightIsRight.co) – Recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas are fresh in mind, so authorities are ramping up security measures to unprecedented levels in America’s capital, preparing for potential chaos.
The U.S. Secret Service, in conjunction with federal, state, and local law enforcement, is tightening security protocols for upcoming events in D.C.
These include the certification of the Electoral College, former President Carter’s funeral, and the presidential inauguration – all now designated as National Special Security Events.
This marks the first time the Electoral College certification has received such a designation, a direct response to the January 6 incident at the U.S. Capitol.
The Metropolitan Police Department has heightened its presence across the city despite admitting there are no known threats.
Adding to the tension, anti-scale fencing has been erected around key areas in Washington, D.C., ahead of the January 6 presidential election certification.
The MPD said in a statement:
“While we cannot comment on protective means or methods, what we can say is that we will continue to work with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners in assessing the ever-changing threat landscape and will adjust our security plans as needed. Our mission is to provide a safe and secure environment for our protectees, and all individuals involved in these events.”
The justification for this security surge stems from recent incidents, including a terrorist attack in New Orleans where a truck was driven onto Bourbon Street, resulting in 15 deaths and 37 injuries.
Additionally, a Tesla Cybertruck explosion occurred outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith emphasized the importance of heightened security. Still, many Americans wonder if this is truly about public safety or an attempt to silence dissent and control the narrative during crucial political moments.
As Washington, D.C., braces for the array of high-profile gatherings, citizens can expect fortified security measures.
The nation’s capital stands unwavering, focused on the responsibility of safeguarding democracy and public safety.
These preparations represent a substantial effort to ensure upcoming events unfold without incident in the face of uncertain challenges and persistent threats.
