DC Officials Announce Plans to Erect Permanent Security Fence Around US Capitol – In Same Week Democrats Ended Construction of Border Security Fence

The acting Capitol Police chief has proposed erecting permanent fencing around the U.S. Capitol, a dramatic step that drew immediate condemnation from D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, city officials and some members of Congress

Non-scalable fencing topped with spools of wire was put up around the Capitol the day after the violent breach Jan. 6, though former Army secretary Ryan McCarthy said at the time that the 7-foot-tall fence would only remain in place for 30 days.

But on Thursday, acting Capitol Police chief Yogananda Pittman said security experts have long argued that “more needed to be done to protect the U.S. Capitol” and members of Congress.

“In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol,” Pittman wrote.
