The Department of Homeland Security announced on January 12 that the designation of the 59th Presidential Inauguration as a National Special Security Event (NSSE) would be expanded following the events at the Capitol and requests from stakeholders.

On Wednesday, several thousand supporters of President Trump’s reelection campaign marched from the White House to the Capitol building, where the group breached security. The group climbed onto the Capitol by scaling vertical walls and overwhelming U.S. Capitol Police.
