Heavy Security Set Up in Washington Streets Ahead of Inauguration Day

Tens of thousands of National Guard troops were deployed to Washington ahead of the inauguration of Joe Biden after Trump supporters breached Capitol security on January 6.

Footage by Brendan Gutenschwager shows National Guard troops on Black Lives Matter Plaza and at a military checkpoint in front of the Hotel Harrington in Washington on Tuesday morning, January 19. Security fencing and barricades were also up around government buildings.

A public access map released by the Secret Service on January 17 listed road and bridge closures around the capital.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that 13 Metro stations would be closed and 26 bus routes detoured until January 21. Credit: Brendan Gutenschwager via Storyful
