WASHINGTON—As Joe Biden took the oath to serve as the 46th president of the United States, some of his supporters showed up at the U.S. Capitol to celebrate in person, despite the area being highly militarized and fortified.

There were multiple layers of fencing around the Capitol and the White House, as well as security checkpoints. Authorities said they were worried about a repeat of the violence and unrest during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
