Washington Tightens Security Ahead of Trump's Second Inauguration

Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office for a historic second term, with heightened security measures and a four-day schedule of events.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, marking his return to the White House after a non-consecutive term.
Security preparations include 30 miles of fencing, 25,000 law enforcement officers, 7,800 National Guard troops, and surveillance drones to address concerns of lone-actor threats.
The inauguration coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day and will feature a four-day schedule of events, including fireworks, a MAGA rally, and three inaugural balls.
Protests and rallies are expected in Washington, with a 'People's March' and other demonstrations planned alongside celebrations by Trump supporters.
Trump's inauguration committee has raised over $200 million, though the event schedule is notably smaller compared to past inaugurations.
