U.S. Capitol Police are expanding outside of Washington D.C.
After January 6th, they opened two satellite offices in Tampa, Florida and San Francisco, California.
They just recently opened offices in Texas, Milwaukee and Boston too.
USCP claim they’re opening these offices, “due to the increased threat environment.”
When I asked USCP for the data that supports their claims—they couldn’t get back to me on that.
Why is @SpeakerJohnson allowing this to happen?
Can Republican AGs pushback on this?
