Pieces of former President Donald Trump’s planned overhaul of security around the White House moved closer to approval Thursday, despite substantial critiques of the proposed permanent fencing and gates around Lafayette Square. The plans, advanced by Trump appointees, involve establishing a more permanent security perimeter. Both PBS Newshour and the Washington Times reported that the plans received opposition during review.
The proposals are not without controversy. While the specific nature of the critiques wasn’t detailed, both outlets noted the concerns raised.
