Some streets in Washington closed for Saturday's protests - The Washington Post

Several streets in Washington will be closed starting as early as Thursday as officials put up fencing ahead of a rally on Saturday where demonstrators plan to gather in support of those arrested during the Jan. 6 insurrection by a pro-Trump mob.

According to an email sent to U.S. Senate staff on Wednesday and obtained by The Washington Post, crews are putting up fencing in areas around the Capitol, which was attacked on Jan. 6 by supporters of President Donald Trump who were trying to overturn President Biden’s election victory.

The fencing will run along Independence and Constitution avenues from First Street NE to First Street NW. Crews started to put up some of the fencing Wednesday night and are expected to finish installing it Thursday. The Supreme Court will also have a temporary fence around its perimeter, according to the email.
