On the morning of November 9, local time, near Lafayette Square on the north side of the US White House, a car rushed over the sidewalk and hit a sign; at about the same time, another person skipped over a roadblock near the northwest corner of the square. The two were arrested by the Secret Service. The driver allegedly acted in a confrontational manner against law enforcement officials. A police bomb demolition team was called to carry out preventive investigations on the vehicle, and the road around Lafayette Square was closed for a while. The temporary fence around Lafayette Square has been in place for several months, and the US government has been pushing for a permanent gate to seal off the area. The US National Capital Planning Commission is also considering a proposal to build a White House Visitor Screening Center south of the Treasury building.
