GOP-Led House Removes Capitol Metal Detectors Installed After Jan. 6 Breach
The incoming Republican majority in the House removed metal detectors outside the lower chamber floor on Tuesday, coming about two years after they were installed.
Video footage and photos uploaded by congressional staffers, members of Congress, and reporters showed the metal detectors being removed on Tuesday morning.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) wrote that with the removal of the magnetometers, “We’re turning Pelosi’s House back into the People’s House.” The GOP lawmaker, who narrowly won her reelection bid, posted a video of workers removing the devices.
