[Ta Kung Pao News]Comprehensive Politico and Hawks News: US President-elect Trump will take office on the 20th, but the inauguration ceremony broke the tradition and moved to the rotunda of the Capitol Building from outdoors. US media pointed out that the ceremony turned indoors and still cannot relieve security pressure for Trump, who was assassinated twice. US law enforcement agencies are tense, and fences and roadblocks can be seen everywhere from the Capitol building to the White House. The closer they get to the main building, the more dense it is. .

Political news website Politico recently quoted the US national security agency as saying that due to Trump’s assassination threats last year, coupled with the recent successive violent incidents in the United States, such as New Orleans vehicles colliding with people, security measures for the inauguration ceremony have been raised to the highest level. . Even if there are currently no specific credible threats, Trump’s inauguration ceremony remains an “attractive potential target” for violent extremists. Politico, according to an undisclosed intelligence and law enforcement agency assessment report, said potential perpetrators, especially those dissatisfied with the election, may view the inauguration as “the last chance to influence the election results through violence.”

Washington Police Chief Smith said local police will receive about 4,000 reinforcements, and the Capitol Police Department will also receive nearly 1,000 police support. The U.S. Secret Service pointed out that about 25,000 law enforcement and military personnel entered Washington to ensure the smooth progress of the inauguration ceremony.
