SACRAMENTO (KGET) – Amid heightened security concerns following the deadly Capitol riots, Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling on the National Guard to help secure the State Capitol.
In a statement Thursday, Newsom revealed several additional security actions ahead of the upcoming Inauguration. This includes the deployment of 1,000 California National Guard personnel to protect the State Capitol.
Meanwhile, a 6-foot fence has since been erected at the State Capitol.
In a press conference earlier this week, Newsom said, “I can assure you we have heightened, a heightened level of security as it relates to some concerns.”
