Washington D.C. Turned Into "Virtual Fortress" As 250,000 Protesters Descend Upon The CityOverall, the inauguration is expected to draw a crowd of 900,000 with
250,000 of those guests showing up to protest the new President-elect.
Police have forecast that some 900,000 people, both supporters and opponents, will flood Washington for the inauguration ceremony, which includes the swearing-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and a parade to the White House along streets thronged with onlookers.
About 30 groups that organizers claim will draw about 270,000 protesters or Trump backers have received permits for rallies or marches before, during and after the swearing-in.
More protests are expected without permits. By far
the biggest protest will be the Women's March on Washington on Saturday, which organizers expect to draw 250,000 people.
