Video: fences, National Guard troops-and BLM Plaza still open Jan 16 1 min 38 sec

In addition, large numbers of armed National Guard troops began showing up in the city. They are intended to protect Biden's Inauguration from armed Trump supporters and outright neo-Nazis, assuming they don't change sides themselves.
