Lansing, MI is among US state capitals tightening security ahead of Biden inauguration

Description

While US begins a new political chapter tomorrow with the inauguration of Joe Biden, the country has tightened its security presence even in state capitals, ahead of the scaled-down ceremony. That for fears of further violence or protests by angry Trump supporters. Lansing, MI is one of the cities on high alert, but with a population of just over 150,000 it is not the obvious choice for a capital, but it has been at the centre of threats, as FRANCE 24’s Alissa Caverley reports from Lansing.
