The fencing around the U.S. Capitol is back up for the president's State of the Union address on Tuesday. Police cars with flashing lights are stationed at major intersections and highways. The U.S. National Guard is on standby.
The event takes months to plan and officials begin discussing how to improve security as soon as the previous year's event ends. Law enforcement officials never go into too much detail so would-be attackers aren’t tipped off. But law enforcement officials always take into account recent events — from the insurrection to trucker protests and other free speech demonstrations.
The fence had been a stark symbol of the fear that many in the Capitol felt after the Jan. 6 mob pushed its way past overwhelmed police officers, broke through windows and doors and ransacked the Capitol. It remained up for several months, a reminder of how divided the nation was, and how much work Biden had before him in trying to repair the damage.
How will Jan. 6, 2021, go down in history? It could be a turning point toward a more fractured nation or a wake-up call to rededicate to principles of American democracy, says University of Pennsylvania historian Brian Rosenwald.
