Eight months after the Capitol building was breached by waves of violent supporters of former President Donald Trump, the grounds are once again sheathed in iron fencing, as a possible new test awaits an army of law enforcement officers who were badly overwhelmed in January. United States Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger, who assumed command following a security failure that claimed his predecessor's job, Friday declared the agency ready for the task despite battered officer ranks with some still recovering from riot-related injuries. In recent days, rally organizer Matt Braynard has appeared to downplay expectations for the size of the gathering, contending that the heavy security measures are more aimed at "intimidation" than protection and designed to discourage people from attending the so-called "Justice for J6" event. 📸 Nathan Howard, AP
