Incoming Riots Or Just July 4 Prep? White House, Treasury Lined By Anti-Scale Fence
[ZH] Reporters and breaking news X accounts indicate that anti-scale fencing was erected late Friday night into early Saturday morning around the White House and Treasury Department buildings in Washington, D.C.

While no official statement has been released, prevailing speculation online attributes the move to:

Preemptive security posture ahead of the July 4th holiday.

National March on Washington scheduled for Saturday, June 28 at 1 PM, led by ANSWER Coalition and affiliated anti-war organizations, protesting potential U.S. military escalation with Iran.
Doesn't seem like that did squat
NBC News reporter Ben Popken questioned a U.S. Secret Service agent about the sudden construction of fencing and the apparent elevation in security posture. The agent attributed the move to standard protective measures ahead of the July 4th holiday.

#5 We will all get to see hypocrisy. It will turn Ohio redder than it already is. They are stupid to do whatever they have planned. They will probably live stream it.
