DHS says it is launching rapid deployment teams to federal monuments over the Fourth of July weekend.
As President Donald Trump ramps up his hard-line rhetoric against protesters, The Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday it is launching rapid deployment teams to federal monuments over the Fourth of July weekend.
"As we approach the July 4th holiday, I have directed the deployment and pre-positioning of Rapid Deployment Teams across the country to respond to potential threats to facilities and property," said DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf."While the Department respects every American’s right to protest peacefully, violence and civil unrest will not be tolerated."
A locked gate surrounds the Emancipation Memorial debate in Lincoln Park, June 26, 2020, in Washington, D.C., to protect it as controversy and protests erupted around monuments that many find offensive.
