U.S. Marshals at 8:00 a.m. Monday, January 18, 2021, announced that 2,000 National Guard troops were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals.
The official Twitter account of the U.S. Marshals posted photos showing Chief Lamont Ruffin from D.C. District Court swearing-in 2000 National Guard troops as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals prior to the upcoming presidential inauguration. Link
The tweet was posted the morning after U.S. defense officials announced they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from actual service members in the National Guard that are involved in the security of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Deputation gives the guardsmen temporary, limited, law enforcement authority pertaining specifically to the safety and protection of the inauguration and related events.
According to officials, the FBI is vetting 25,000 National Guard service members at the Washington D.C. inaugural, where there is concern that there is a threat to the president-elect.
The vetting of the National Guard troops began deploying to D.C. more than a week ago, and was set for completion by Wednesday.
D.C. National Guard commanding general says they’re taking “no chances” preparing for Joe Biden’s inauguration Wednesday.
Major General William Walker says there are about 21-thousand Guardsmen on the ground in DC as of this morning, roughly three times more than the average for a presidential inauguration.
During his interview, there was a huge moment that wasn’t reported by the mainstream media or any other media outlet.
He said that the National Guard has come to Washington DC from all 50 states to help with the peaceful transition to MILITARY power.

Not for nothing but this is a standing army and is NOT allowed under our Constitution.

How can you properly, vet 25,000 people in a few days?
I guess if they are registered Demoncrap voters, that would vet them.
So, is America a junta now?

You can’t. They’re just saying that to make the Dems feel better.

All MAGA soldiers get a dishonorable discharge
The military is taking over.
Somebody wake up Grampa Dave. He fell asleep with his head on the keyboard again.
Do the Commissars expect these troops to fire on Americana citizens?
It's the FBI. They'll ask Christopher Steele
BS overkill and drama show if this is to HELP in a peaceful transition. These spineless sissy politicians don’t deserve Mall Cops to protect them!
Indeed, protect the communists and treasonous cabal of Dems that overthrew our government by defrauding the majority will of 80 million voters.
If Biden is so popular, then why are the Dems so paranoid?
You would expect him to say that publicly.
“Are you, or have you ever been, a Trump supporter?”
This mobilization is ridiculous.
Hold the event in Biden’s basement — the same place he campaigned from.
The amount of disinformation on this site today, illustrated by rather insanity icon this thread is amazing.
I’ve never seen it this bad
The shills, the brain dead, the needy, the frightened - the “I know more than the president about his job people.
Amazing. Annoying.
So we are in Martial Law? That’s what it sounds like to me.
A Trump supporter or voter;
Below is what is happening re vetting our NGs.
FBI Vetting National Guard Assigned to Secure D.C., Biden Inauguration
Officials in charge of securing the District of Columbia and the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are vetting National Guard troops because of fears some could be supportive of protests against the results of the 2020 election.
That is a considerable task considering an estimated 25,000 National Guard will be stationed in the District for days before and after the event.
The Associated Press interviewed Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy about the development:
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.
In a situation like this one, FBI vetting would involve running peoples’ names through databases and watchlists maintained by the bureau to see if anything alarming comes up. That could include involvement in prior investigations or terrorism-related concerns, said David Gomez, a former FBI national security supervisor in Seattle.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.
“We’re continually going through the process, and taking second, third looks at every one of the individuals assigned to this operation,” McCarthy told the AP after he and other military official conducted a three-hour military drill.
“The question is, is that all of them? Are there others?” McCarthy said. “We need to be conscious of it and we need to put all of the mechanisms in place to thoroughly vet these men and women who would support any operations like this.”
“According to McCarthy, service members from across the military were at that rally, but it’s not clear how many were there or who may have participated in the breach at the Capitol,” AP reported. “So far only a couple of current active-duty or National Guard members have been arrested in connection with the Capitol assault.”
“If there’s any indication that any of our soldiers or airmen are expressing things that are extremist views, it’s either handed over to law enforcement or dealt with the chain of command immediately,” Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, said in the AP report.
