– Vice President Mike Pence received a briefing on the inauguration ceremony at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in Washington, DC on the 14th (local time). Unlike President Donald Trump, Vice President Pence has announced that he will attend the inauguration of Joe Biden.

He said at a briefing, “We all went through the 6th (parliamentary riot),” and “we are committed to orderly handing over the regime and holding the inauguration ceremony of the president safely.”
While on the move, he unexpectedly met and encouraged State National Guard soldiers who had been on guard for several days near the Capitol.

However, the Washington Post reported that the situation where far-right groups are plotting attacks nationwide on the day of the inauguration ceremony are being spotted one after another.

Rita Katz, managing director of SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors the social media of extremist groups, said, “In the meantime, the words (of the far-rights) that mainly said’we will win’ are turning into’it will be a long fight now’.” “The forces who were involved in the intrusion of the Capitol show willingness to continue pushing (attack).”

– FBI Director Chris Ray also said, “There is a huge amount of online chats foreshadowing the violence surrounding the inauguration ceremony,” and “we are monitoring them all.” He also said, “There is a fear that the assembly scheduled not only in Washington but also in the state of the country will spread to violence.”

The state of emergency has already been declared in New Mexico, and the state of Ohio has initiated a preemptive response by convening the State National Guard and closing the state office.

As the sense of crisis grew, Delta, United, Alaska, and American Airlines decided not to accept firearms as checked baggage on flights to Washington from the 16th to the 23rd. It is trying to prevent the introduction of firearms into Washington. The city of Washington closed down 13 subway stations around the White House and Congress and controlled roads.

CNN also reported that on the day of the inauguration ceremony, Joe Biden, who was scheduled to come to Washington by Amtrak (railway) from Wilmington, Delaware, has also revised the plan. Biden has been commuting to Amtrak for over 30 years since he was a Senator. However, if you travel to Amtrak, it is known that the train has been abandoned because there could be a security gap while getting off at the Union Station in Washington and moving to the Capitol.

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden enjoys riding the train to the extent that he used Amtrak to go on a local campaign last September.  CNN and others reported that it was planned to travel by train from Delaware for the inauguration ceremony on the 20th, but was canceled due to safety concerns. [로이터=연합뉴스]

On the other hand, there is a prospect that far-right groups that have lost their focus may have completely different options. President Trump’s Twitter message has been like an attack order to them, but recently his account has been permanently suspended, indicating that it has lost its direction. WP reported that the organizers of the armed protests, named’Million Militia Marching’, recently posted a notice saying, “Stay away from Washington and each state. It’s a trap.” On the 6th, a large-scale arrest is being made against a suspected intrusion to the Capitol Hill, and he is told not to come out because he may be arrested after attending a protest.

WP used the words of a parliamentary official to analyze that “the protesters who do not receive Trump’s instructions are divided, and some followers are frustrated, and the uncertainty has increased.”
