Washington D.C. has transformed into a fortress of fences, barricades, and law enforcement ahead of a historic inauguration. Over 25,000 personnel—police, National Guard units, and Secret Service agents—are securing the capital as freezing temperatures and crowds descend for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in.
Key areas like the Capitol, White House, and Capital One Arena are now wrapped in security perimeters. Four subway stations shut down, bridges closed, and checkpoints multiplied—all to prevent repeats of past chaos. \"We’re prepared for anything,\" said Secret Service agent Matt McCool, referencing recent threats.
Trump’s Sunday rally at Capital One Arena drew 20,000 supporters, but thousands braved icy rain only to be turned away due to capacity limits. \"It’s a moment in history,\" said Leah Aguanno, a Trump supporter from New Jersey, clutching a flag. \"I’m expecting great changes tomorrow.\"
Monday’s ceremony moves indoors to the Capitol Rotunda, with temperatures plunging to -5°C. Will the cold keep crowds home? Stay tuned for updates as D.C. balances democracy and security in real time.
