Violence is hard to dispel, the safety of the Capitol raises concerns

  On the 2nd local time, US President Biden and Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi ordered the White House and the Capitol to lower flags at half-mast to commemorate the death of police officer Evans.

Biden said in a statement, "We know how difficult it is for the Capitol, everyone who works here, and those who protect it."

  Democratic Rep. Cana, who was in the Capitol on the 2nd, said: "When I was elected, I never thought that Congress would be a dangerous place to work, but now I will be very vigilant." "I do think they may have to reopen. Consider the security issues surrounding the entire complex of the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and the Congress Building. How to ensure safety and allow tourists to continue visiting."

  On January 6, while the Congress was counting the electoral votes in the presidential election, demonstrators violently stormed the Congress, killing at least five people.

After the incident, a temporary barbed wire fence was erected around the Capitol, and part of the top was covered with blades.

  In recent weeks, there has been a heated debate in Congress about whether to remove the barbed wire. A few days ago, the Congress began to remove the outer iron fence and lift the road blockade. The outer fence of the Capitol still remains and the National Guard is still stationed.
