Ahead of the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on the 20th (local time), all of the United States, including Washington DC, where the inauguration ceremony is held, has entered the state of a semi-war state.

According to the Washington Post (WP), the capital, Washington, DC currently has 20,000 state national defense forces deployed. It is known that this force could increase to 25,000. It is larger than the combined US troops stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the National Mall in front of the Capitol, where the inauguration ceremony was held, but this year, public access was restricted or banned. Military vehicles have been blocked all over the city, and all subway stations near the National Mall connecting the White House and the Capitol have also been blocked.

Other states have also significantly strengthened security in key facilities such as the state council and have significantly increased the deployment of security personnel such as the state defense force and police. Security officials warned that armed protests by pro-Trump forces could take place across the United States. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said there is a high likelihood of armed protests across the United States from the 16th of the weekend to the 20th of the inauguration day.

In particular, tensions are higher in the states where Biden-elect barely won the victory after an ultra-thin game, and states that can possess firearms in public places.

According to CNN, Florida and Maine have already deployed national defense forces around the state capitol. The states of Arizona, California, Michigan and Virginia have installed barbed wire around the state legislature and have taken additional steps to control protesters. Pennsylvania has built barriers, and Kentucky and Texas have temporarily closed state capitol sites.
