The Trump administration is doing everything it can to protect federal monuments and statues from vandalism ahead of Independence Day weekend.

“The upcoming July 4th holiday weekend has the potential for increased disruptive activity at specific locations across the country that could threaten our personnel and the Federal facilities and property they protect,” a soon-to-be released DHS memo is expected to say, according to Fox News. “DHS will be forward leaning in preparing to protect federal facilities and property.”

Rapid Deployment Teams (RDTs) from the Protecting American Communities Task Force (PACT), and consisting of law enforcement officers specially trained in areas such as crowd control and riot control, will be dispatched to Portland, Seattle and Washington D.C.

Additional RDTs will be dispatched regionally so that they can be flown into any other area within a few hours should unrest spark up in other cities across the U.S.

The efforts come after President Trump’s recently-signed executive order that protects monuments from mob attacks.

On Wednesday morning he reminded that the order “is in full force and effect” and warned would-be rioters that they will put themselves in legal jeopardy if they attack monuments and statues.
