Este viernes se colocaron barreras y se reforzó el blindaje para proteger las capitales estatales de todo Estados Unidos, luego de que el FBI advirtiera esta semana sobre posibles “protestas armadas” en Washington y en las capitales estatales en los días previos a la toma de posesión de Joe Biden.
La policía del estado de Michigan montó guardia detrás de una línea de cercas metálicas que rodeaban el Capitolio en Lansing, los trabajadores cerraron con tablas las ventanas del capitolio del estado de Illinois y las calles que conducen al Capitolio del estado de Nueva York fueron bloqueadas por barreras de concreto.
Las medidas de seguridad mejoradas se produjeron después de que el FBI publicara boletines y llamara a las agencias policiales de todo el país para llamar la atención sobre posibles protestas.
Después de que los partidarios del presidente Donald Trump atacaron el Capitolio de los Estados Unidos el 6 de enero en un motín que dejó cinco muertos, las agencias federales de aplicación de la ley han intensificado su escrutinio de las conversaciones extremistas en línea, actividad que los funcionarios advierten que podrían ser señales de alerta temprana de ataques planeados alrededor de Biden.
Antecedentes de una presidencia
Durante meses, los extremistas de extrema derecha, han publicado abiertamente sus amenazas en sitios públicos. Ahora, desconfiados de la vigilancia y en medio de la represión de las redes sociales, algunos están cambiando sus comunicaciones en línea a chats privados o plataformas menos conocidas que podrían hacer que esas amenazas sean más difíciles de encontrar.
Varios sitios web de redes sociales que son refugios populares para las opiniones de la extrema derecha se han cerrado, colapsado o reprimido la retórica violenta durante la última semana.
Por ejemplo, Apple y Amazon suspendieron el sitio de redes sociales Parler de su respectiva App Store y servicio de alojamiento web, alegando que no habían tomado las medidas adecuadas para evitar la propagación de publicaciones que incitaban a la violencia.
El FBI recibió cerca de 100.000 “consejos de medios digitales” sobre posibles disturbios relacionados con las elecciones y la toma de posesión de Biden, dijo un funcionario a los periodistas el martes, y ha pedido más información al público estadounidense.
