National Guard Troops in the Nation's Capital

Shields and other protective armor lie organized on the ground at the U.S. Capitol as National Guard troops secure the area ahead of the upcoming inauguration for President Joe Biden in Washington, DC on Sunday, January 17, 2021. Security is extra tight since Jan 6, when pro-Trump MAGA mobs breached the security perimeter and penetrated the U.S. Capitol. Photo by Ken Cedeno/UPI.
