Capitol Police warn of post-election violence risk, Jan. 6 and inauguration threats
Briefly

The Capitol Police intelligence assessment highlights the "likelihood of violence and civil unrest" around the 2025 electoral vote certification and presidential inauguration, anticipating increased threats following Election Day.
As threats to Congress decrease, there is an expectation of a repeat of past trends, with rising threats after Election Day, influenced by escalating social media rhetoric.
Activist groups with histories of illegal demonstrations plan protests during the inauguration, regardless of the election outcome, and there are plans for protests on January 6, the day of electoral certification.
With the ongoing war in Israel influencing domestic sentiments, Capitol Police is aware that groups are "nearly certain to target the Inauguration" alongside politically motivated unrest.
