Fmr FBI Agent to Newsmax: Inauguration ‘Huge’ Security Challenge

Ken Strange, former FBI agent with the Joint Terrorism Task Force, told Newsmax on Thursday that providing security for the upcoming presidential inauguration is “a huge challenge” for law enforcement personnel.

President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is scheduled to take place on Monday, January 19, 2025. Strange said on “National Report” that preparing for the inauguration is “certainly shaping up to be … a huge challenge, but I think these men and women are going to be able to rise up and meet that challenge.”

He added, “As you know, the threat landscape is populated by … any number of actors that would like to wreak havoc during this inauguration. But you have foreign terrorists,” including, “al-Qaida, ISIS, and the intelligence services of Iran, et cetera,” which “all adds to this kind of potentially explosive environment.”
