Multiple departments of the United States issued an attack warning, and Washington guarded the Capitol Hill with heavy troops

As the day of Biden's swearing in as President of the United States on January 20 approaches, Washington, D.C., the capital, is now heavily guarded. Several government departments in the United States have warned that those white right-wing members may launch armed protests before and on the 20th.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation specifically named a US right-wing organization "Bugalo Movement", saying that the organization called on its members to hold armed marches in major cities across the US on the 17th. One of the goals of the "Bugalo Movement" is to solve all the problems of the United States by launching a second civil war.

CNN reporter: The State Department said that these white supremacists and domestic terrorist organizations are using the same means as extremist organizations to encourage and recruit personnel through social networks, websites and chat rooms. These organizations may launch more attacks in the next few days.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently warned that members of these organizations not only planned to launch armed protests in the parliament buildings of 50 states in the United States from January 16 to 20, but also would return to Washington, D.C., the capital, to launch attacks from January 17 to 20.

Christopher Ray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation: We saw many people on the Internet talking about creating trouble before and after the inauguration ceremony.

In addition, according to the news report on the website of the World Daily, some people who attacked the Congress on January 6 said on the social network: "Many of us will revisit the old place on January 19, carrying our weapons to show our determination to support our country. The world will never forget this! Our number will not be large enough for any military or police force to compete." Others called January 20 the second round. "I will not be lenient this time. I don't even care about helping Trump re-election. What I care about is going to war."

Not only U.S. government agencies but also some Republican lawmakers are worried about being attacked.

After the congressional shock event on the 6th, the internal differences among the Republicans intensified, and many Republican members "cut off" from Trump, who belongs to the same party, to draw a clear line. On the 13th, 10 Republican representatives voted to impeach Trump, including Representative Peter Major. In an interview with the media on the 14th, Major said that he and other colleagues who supported the impeachment of Trump were worried about facing personal threats and were planning to buy bulletproof vests with public funds.

Republican Senator Peter Meijer: Many of us are changing our daily work arrangements and studying how to buy bulletproof clothing. The cost of bulletproof clothing can be reimbursed. Unfortunately, we have to go this far, but we are worried that someone may try to attack us.

Major said that in view of the impact on Congress on the 6th and the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, he felt that the situation was out of control and did not know what would happen next.

Republican Senator Peter Meijer: In this unprecedented environment, accompanied by unprecedented fear, division and hatred, we must take into account all possible situations.

After the US Congress was hit by violence, the capital Washington was jittery and the atmosphere was tense. Federal and local governments, transportation departments and airlines have successively upgraded security measures.

On the 14th local time, as the date of the inauguration of the President of the United States approached, the security in Washington, D.C. was constantly strengthened. In the afternoon near the Congress in Washington, D.C., the National Guard soldiers were changing their guard.

Near 4 p.m., a large number of National Guard soldiers arrived near the Congress in batches to change positions with the soldiers on duty of the previous shift. There were nearly 1000 soldiers on the scene. Compared with the previous day, the number of soldiers has increased significantly, the security around the Congress has become more strict, and the area where the National Guard is on duty has also expanded. ABC described in its report that "before the inauguration ceremony, the capital Washington had become a 'fortress'". According to CNN, more than 20000 national guards will be deployed to Washington 20 days ago, more than three times the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

The day before, the tourist center inside the Capitol, which was originally used to receive tourists, had become the "camp" of the National Guard. That night, members of the National Guard who had nowhere to go lay on the marble floor. On the 14th, these replaced soldiers will stay in the nearby hotels and continue to work in shifts the next day. According to the previous arrangement of the Ministry of Defense, members of the National Guard from all over the United States will work in shifts for 12 hours.

Officials from Arkansas and Ohio announced on the 14th that they would send 500 and 700 National Guard soldiers to Washington before the inauguration day of the new president to help the local police maintain order. At present, Illinois National Guard soldiers have left for Washington to support.

A few days ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned that some protesters supporting Trump might go to Washington with weapons for "armed protest" in the near future. On the 14th, Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Airlines, said: "No one is allowed to consign guns to airports around Washington DC from this weekend unless they are law enforcement officers and are authorized to carry guns with them." Later, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and other airlines announced similar bans, which will last until the 23rd.

According to the latest ban issued by Alaska Airlines, passengers on flights to and from Washington DC are required to "sit in their seats" one hour after takeoff and before landing.

Today's US capital, Washington, especially the Capitol Hill, is heavily guarded. Many foreign media also vividly compared Washington D.C. to the green area of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

On the evening of the 14th, the fence outside the west side of the Capitol was raised overnight. There was no fence outside the Capitol, but a 2.4 meter high fence was added after the land was hit. Now, in order to welcome the inauguration of the next president, the fence has been raised to 3.6 meters overnight. Throughout Washington, metal fences can be seen around important buildings. In addition to the fence, many blocks were blocked, and many roads near the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court were closed to vehicles.

Many foreign media described Washington, D.C., as the "green zone" of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The "Green Zone" set up by the US military after the 2003 Iraq War is located in the center of Baghdad, heavily guarded and heavily guarded. It is closely surrounded by high concrete walls. Special passes and layers of security checks are required for entry and exit. For most Iraqis, the "Green Zone" is beyond their reach. The main roads in the "Green Zone" will not be open all day until 2019.

Today, Washington is also jittery, like a big enemy. No wonder AFP compares Washington, D.C., with Baghdad's Green Zone.

This has sparked heated debate on social networks. Some netizens posted sarcastically,

"What kind of country is this? Afghanistan? Iraq?"

"Are we going to be attacked by Iran?"

Another netizen said that it is unimaginable that the US government, which advocates democracy and freedom all day long, should be so afraid of its own people, which just shows the failure of the US government.

"The leaders should use this method to protect themselves. Any government that is so hated will be extremely defeated."

"Too sad. The National Guard is used to protect us Americans from foreign attacks, not attacks by our own people."

Today, the split of public opinion in American society is still intensifying. Social networks are still full of voices that do not agree with the election results,

"It's crazy to mobilize people to protect the" people's choice "."

Another netizen said frankly that the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States continued to worsen, while the government was deeply involved in party disputes, which seriously affected the prevention and control of the epidemic.

"If the National Guard is redeployed to Capitol Hill, they will not be able to help establish large-scale new vaccine vaccination sites.".

"We should have asked the National Guard to help distribute the new vaccine, but we asked them to protect Congress."
