On the 20th, ahead of the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Joe Biden, fears of violence or terror by extremist protesters have posed a super emergency across the United States.
According to major foreign media, there are warnings that extremist forces supporting President Donald Trump are planning armed protests or bombings across the United States, as well as Washington DC, the capital where Biden’s inauguration ceremony is held.
President-elect President-elect Biden’s victory could be recurred on the 6th.
In addition, some analyzes say that the Democratic Party further stimulated the extremist forces by impeaching President Trump, which is about to retire.
FBI director Christopher Ray said in an interview with CNN on the 16th (local time) that “we are tracking armed protests aimed at inauguration and related activities,” and “we are monitoring all clues.”
In addition, Washington DC has closed all subway stations and major roads near the National Mall leading to the White House and Capitol until the day of the inauguration ceremony. The number of attendance at the inauguration was reduced to 1,000, much less than that of Barack Obama or Donald Trump.
Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bauzer said, “This is the right choice and the best way to keep everyone safe. I ask the people to enjoy this presidential inauguration ceremony while watching TV at home.”

The U.S. Department of Defense also set a policy to send 25,000 troops to the inauguration ceremony and requested defense support from each state.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, who has decided to support more than 300 state defense forces in Washington, DC, said, “Peaceful transfer of power is the key to democracy. We are ready to protect this country.”
However, there are cases of refusing to send state national defense forces to defend themselves, as concerns are raised that extremist forces will attack not only Washington DC, but also each state’s capitol.
In particular, there is a greater concern about violence in the weeks where Biden-elect and President Trump have been fighting a fierce battle between the president-elect Biden and the president-elect Biden, or are able to possess weapons in public.
According to AP and CNN, Florida and Maine have already deployed national defense forces around the state capitol, and Michigan and New Jersey canceled the plenary session itself or ordered council employees to work from home before or after the inauguration ceremony.
In particular, in Michigan, in October last year, conspiracy of extremist forces who planned to abduct the governor of the Democratic Party who strengthened the prevention of Corona 19 or even trained military to attack the State Capitol was caught.
In addition, Pennsylvania and Texas placed temporary barriers and ordered temporary closures on the Capitol site, while Virginia, Maryland, New Mexico, and Utah have declared emergencies.
