Capitol Police to boost security for Netanyahu speech

• The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights said in a statement Friday that "tens of thousands of people from across the U.S." will gather at the Capitol on Wednesday to demand a "citizen's arrest" of Netanyahu.

What they're saying: The Capitol Police's plan includes "adding more officers – including from several outside agencies" and "ensuring that we have enough resources for our teams," according to a statement from the department.

• "We anticipate a large number of demonstrators to show up. We respect everyone's First Amendment rights, however all demonstrations must be done peacefully and legally," the statement said.

What we're hearing: The House sergeant-at-arms said in a notice to congressional offices on Friday that "anti-scale fencing" will be erected around the Capitol, similar to this year's State of the Union address.

• There will also be security at vehicle and pedestrian access points and road closures, including to "address demonstration activity," the notice said.

• The notice encouraged staffers and lawmakers to move between House offices and the Capitol through the complex's underground tunnels instead of going above ground.

Between the lines: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) turned up the temperature around the speech Thursday by announcing plans to "have extra sergeants-at-arms on the floor."

• If Democrats get "out of hand" in protesting or disrupting the speech, he said, "We're going to arrest people if we have to do it."
