A woman was arrested late Saturday morning for attempting to scale a temporary fence set up outside the White House ahead of next month’s inauguration, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
The federal protective agency stated that the woman was “quickly taken into custody” and arrested for unlawful entry. She was then transported to the DC Metro Police Department’s 2nd District for processing.
The Secret Service reported that while President Biden was at the White House at the time, the woman did not manage to breach the fence, and the incident did not affect the president or any other protectees
