The United States Capitol Police is preparing for a planned protest outside of the Capitol on Wednesday by placing bike racks and extra officers outside of the complex.
Members of Congress have been instructed to use underground tunnels in order to access the building and to remain indoors as much as possible. The order was given by the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, USCP confirmed to the Washington Examiner. "Last night Police put up bike racks of expected Pro Palestinian protest today and Intel that members of congress will be targeted," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday.

Washington, D.C., has seen multiple protests since the war broke out, including a protest in front of the White House on Monday that resulted in the arrests of more than 30 protesters. Secret Service agents claimed the arrests were due to the protesters crossing safety barriers or blocking entrances near the White House. The protesters were calling for a ceasefire.
