The checkpoints are manned by a combination of Capitol Police and National Guard
Some of the streets leading up to the fence are also blocked from car traffic
The fence is topped with razor wire. Sharp stuff!

Participants of the armed protest near the State Capitol in Richmond, VA.

These guys tell me they have no affiliation with any militia, they are here to exercise their First and Second Amendment rights.
Boogaloo Bois are also out here, along with a ton of press
Boogaloos are now on the move, walking away from the Capitol

Just went through a metal detector to enter the area surrounding the Capitol.

The checkpoint was manned by Secret Service, not NG
Trump Hotel appears to be open for business (you just have to go through a metal detector and have any large bags sniffed by dogs first)!
Bus loads presumably containing more troops arrive in front of the Capitol

I accompanied protesters all the way to the Senate Gallery doors.
Here you can see one protester deploy pepper spray on Capitol Police prior to entry

DC Traffic Thread 🚨🚦🚧⚠️🏁

I just drove across DC 🏎

From what I can see, major arteries into the city are open 🚦

BUT access to the Capitol/White House/Freedom Plaza areas are mostly restricted for unauthorized car traffic within 4-5 blocks ⚠️
For access to White House/Freedom Plaza area, K street is still open for now, although anything south of there is blocked from car traffic 🚧
As for the Capitol, access from the north appears blocked a 4-5 blocks out but the southern approach is accessible for now 🏁
