A temporary black security fence, stretching 48 kilometers, will be erected, and 25,000 police officers will be deployed alongside numerous security checkpoints to manage the hundreds of thousands expected to attend the inauguration.
The election campaign saw two assassination attempts on Trump, one of which resulted in a bullet grazing his ear.
Matt McCool, a US Secret Service official, stated that "security threats are increasing," highlighting concerns about lone attackers.
This is the same location that witnessed the January 6, 2021, violence when Trump supporters vandalized windows and clashed with police, forcing Congress members to flee for their lives in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results won by Democratic President Joe Biden.
Security officials have stated that there are no confirmed coordinated threats for Inauguration Day, but they are concerned about lone attackers, similar to the New Orleans incident and two separate incidents last week.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have issued warnings to police across the United States about the risk of attacks similar to those in New Orleans.
Officials noted that the black fence to be erected will be two meters high and 48 kilometers long, making it the longest fence ever built in Washington, designed to be unclimbable.
Security measures will be further enhanced by deploying approximately 7,800 National Guard soldiers and 4,000 police officers from various departments across the country.
