Businesses, a church and other establishments around the White House are boarding up their windows and securing their valuables amid fears that another night of protests and vandalism could erupt on Sunday night. And the Secret Service asked people to "avoid streets and parks near the White House complex." Restaurants near the White House were also seen Sunday afternoon boarding up their windows, after being vandalized the night before. Some demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers and vandalized six Secret Service vehicles, the agency said in a statement on Sunday. D.C. police have helped equip Secret Service agents with riot gear, including helmets, which is not a usual part of their protective gear, Chief of Police Peter Newsham said on Sunday.
