Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says it’s time for the fencing around the U.S. Capitol to come down.

An internal report obtained by the Associated Press raises concerns the Capitol Police are still unprepared to respond to the kind of mob attack that occurred three months ago. There is no agreement among lawmakers on how much to spend or what level of perimeter security should remain. Hinson suggests hearings that are underway will guide decision-making.

Hinson says the security fencing around the building where her D-C office is located has been removed.
