Democrats Turn January 6th Into Something Totally New

The federal government is looking at January 6, but not at what happened in 2021.

This week, the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) said that January 6 2025, has been “named a National Special Security Event by the Sec. of Homeland Security.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas approved the first-of-its-kind title for that day. Its purpose is to “ensure the safety” of the Electoral College vote count at the Capitol after the election in November 2024. A call from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and others led to the action.

In a news statement, the USSS said, “Numerous reports, including those from the January 6 Committee and the Government Accountability Office, also asked the DHS Secretary to think about designating the Certification of Electoral Votes as a National Special Security Event in the future.”

Eric Ranaghan, who is in charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Dignitary Protective Division, stated, “National Special Security Events are events that are very important to the whole country.”

In a statement, he said, “The U.S. Secret Service and our federal, state, and local partners are dedicated to planning and implementing a thorough and integrated security plan to protect the safety and security of this event.”

“Major resources from the federal government, and from state and local partners, can be used in a complete security plan,” the USSS says of the special title.

Officials said, “When an event is named a National Special Security Event, the U.S. Secret Service takes on its role as the lead agency for designing and implementing the tactical security plan.”

People in charge of law enforcement and public safety at the federal, state, and local levels have come together to make the Executive Steering Committee. According to reports, the group will be meeting soon.

In a news statement, it was said that the 2025 Presidential Inauguration on January 20, along with the Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes on January 6, had been labeled a National Special Security Event and had been planned for several months.
