- Authorities are warning of the "substantial" risk that explosives will be among the "tactics" used during protests before and during the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, piling on to the previous memo urging law enforcement to be prepared for armed demonstrations in all 50 state capitols in the coming days, according to a recent report.
an FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News described how the use of "devices targeting infrastructure" has increased in the past several months, and law enforcement should be prepared for the potential use of explosives going forward, according to the report.
"The danger posed to law enforcement officers and the general public from the all [s.i.c] the tactics listed is substantial, " the bulletin states, according to ABC. "If a suspicious item is reasonably believed to contain explosives, an IED, or other hazardous material, DO NOT touch, tamper with, or move the item. Only bomb disposal personnel should handle any suspected devices that are located."
A previous internal FBI memo obtained by Fox News warned of plans for armed protests in all of the state capital cities before, during, and after Jan. 20.
The FBI told Fox News at the time that Bureau is "supporting our state, local, and federal law enforcement partners with maintaining public safety in the communities we serve."
"Our efforts are focused on identifying, investigating, and distributing individuals that are inciting violence and engaging in criminal activity," the FBI said in an emailed statement.

Answer:

The inauguration of Joe Biden will mark the commencement of the four-year term of Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president. A public ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, January 20, 2021, on the West Front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The event will be the 59th presidential inauguration. Biden will take the oath of office as president on that day, and Harris will take the oath of office as vice president.

Acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said the decision is just one part of "comprehensive, coordinated plans" in place to ensure the safety and security of both Congress and Biden's inauguration.

The announcement comes after thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol last week as legislators were meeting to vote to certify Biden's electoral win. Biden's team and District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser have been asking people not to attend the inauguration in person because of the coronavirus pandemic. Washington D.C. is not the only area bracing for potentially violent protests.

An internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News stated that armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitals in addition to the US Capitol. "As of 10 January, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the US Capitol from 17 January through 20 January," the bulletin said. In addition, the FBI has received information in recent days on an identified group calling for "storming" state, local, and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event Donald Trump is removed as president prior to Inauguration Day.
