House lawmakers are being urged to use underground tunnels while travelling between the Capitol and office buildings on Jan. 6 in the midst of the Joint Session of Congress and related protests, according to a letter sent out by the House sergeant at arms that was obtained by The Epoch Times on Tuesday.

The notice from House Sergeant at Arms Paul D. Irving’s office said that all members of Congress “should expect demonstration activity and street closures to impact access” to the Capitol building area.
