Report: DHS Agents Ordered to Prepare for Possible Election Day Unrest in Washington, DCJoshua Caplan 30 Oct 2020
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents were ordered to be ready for possible civil unrest and to prepare to protect federal property in Washington, DC, on Election Day, according to a Friday report.
NBC News reports:
The agency is regularly tasked with providing additional security around the nation’s capital on inauguration days, but has never stepped in to quell unrest on Election Day. The unprecedented step is in response to nationwide protests and attacks on federal property seen this year, the officials said.
ICE, CBP, and the Federal Protective Service are part of the “Protecting American Communities Task Force,†established in June through an executive order by President Trump in response to “anarchists and left-wing extremists†who he said sought to damage monuments and federal buildings.
