"The District of Columbia is hosting three designated National Special Security Events in a two-week span... This has never happened before," said Matt McCool from the Secret Service.
"The certification, which has historically been a low-profile ministerial proceeding, was elevated to National Special Security Event after the chaotic riot of Jan. 6, 2021."
"D.C. is often challenged by winter weather; local drivers struggle with snowy roads, and there’s a tendency to shut down schools with the first sign of snow."
"Officials are on alert for potential mass protests, as high-level coordination among the FBI, Secret Service, and others is necessary for these events."
