Daily Mail: Capitol perimeter fence erected after January 6 riot will be REINSTALLED ahead of Biden's State of the Union address on March 1 as the truckers' Freedom Convoy heads for Washington 

* Fencing surrounding the Capitol will be reinstalled next week 

* Comes as U.S. Capitol Police secure the area ahead of Biden's State of the Union 

* The perimeter was in place for much of last year due to security concerns following the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot 

* USCP says it is 'aware' that the 'Freedom Convoy' of truckers protesting mask and vaccine mandates is heading for Washington, D.C. 

The fencing that surrounded the Capitol complex for much of 2021 will be reinstalled next week as Congress prepares to host President Joe Biden for his first State of the Union address on March 1. 

U.S. Capitol Police are preparing for truckers protesting the mask and vaccine mandates as the 'Freedom Convoy' heads to Washington, D.C. after demonstrating in Canada for weeks and causing major blockades. 

The protesters were able to block the Ambassador Bridge border crossing between Windsor and Detroit as they expressed their distaste with COVID-19 mandates related to mask wearing and compulsory vaccinations.
