Summary
Thursday’s presentation will lay out plans to permanently fence Lafayette Square, the park directly across from the White House.
The proposal advances a long-running Secret Service push to harden the White House complex, now backed by President Donald Trump.
Earlier administrations discussed similar barriers but never approved them, balancing stronger security against preserving public access to the square.
