In the US, the level of threat remains elevated due to the possible incitement to violence and the risk of its commission. This is stated in a report by the US Department of Homeland Security published on the agency’s website.
The ministry clarified that they do not have information about the impending conspiracy. “Disappointed with the exercise of state powers and the change of presidential power, as well as, presumably, having other claims, may continue to mobilize a wide range of ideologically motivated actors to incite or commit violence,” the report says.
On January 23, it was reported that five thousand National Guard fighters would be left in Washington due to the danger of riots. The military is tasked with providing security, communications, medical evacuation, as well as “security logistic support.”
On January 6, Republican protesters stormed the Capitol building and surrounded the Senate Hall. The Senate and the House of Representatives interrupted a meeting at which it was planned to approve the results of the past US presidential elections. During the protests, police detained nearly 70 rioters, killing five.
