U.S. Capitol Police are bracing for a potential "Freedom Convoy" truck protest to Washington D.C. for President Biden's State of the Union address on March 1 and considering temporary fencing around the Capitol to prepare.

"The United States Capitol Police and the United States Secret Service have been closely working together to plan for the upcoming State of the Union," the U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Friday. "The temporary inner-perimeter fence is part of those ongoing discussions and remains an option, however at this time no decision has been made."

"Law enforcement agencies across the National Capital Region are aware of plans for a series of truck convoys arriving in Washington, DC around the time of the State of the Union," United States Capitol Police said.

The Capitol grounds were subjected to major fencing, policing and military presence following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the perimeter fencing has come down, and military personnel have left as the threat level lessened and some lawmakers and D.C. residents urged for a return to normalcy.

For Biden's State of the Union address, all 535 members of Congress will be invited, although no guests will be permitted to accommodate social distancing guidelines.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said earlier this month that it was "tracking reports of a potential convoy that may be planning to travel to several U.S. cities," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News on Feb. 9.

The department said at the time it has "not observed specific calls for violence within the United States associated with this convoy, and (is) working closely with our federal, state and local partners to continuously assess the threat environment and keep our communities safe."
