 The entire city of Washington DC was locked down for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.
The storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, raised concerns about the security of the inauguration of Joe Biden two weeks later on January 20, 2021.[1][2] The inauguration, like all ceremonies since the first inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001, was designated a National Special Security Event (NSSE); however, on this occasion, the week preceding it was included in preparations.[3] Biden chose not to move the ceremony indoors, indicating that he believed a public, outdoor ceremony was necessary to demonstrate strength.[4] Former Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco advised the Biden team on security-related matters for the ceremony.[5]
