None of the inauguration protests have their proper permits yet. Here’s why.

The permits are doled out on a first-come, first-served basis. Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee hasn’t technically been issued any permits yet, but it’s at the front of the line to receive them. The committee, according to Litterst, has not yet rescinded any of the permits and does not have a deadline for deciding.

Alex Stroman, a spokesman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, a private entity, said the group is still figuring out its plans for inauguration and has not yet made any decisions about which pieces of land it will use.

“We’re moving as quickly as possible,” Stroman said. “We are figuring out what events we are doing.”

Litterst said it is not unusual for an inaugural committee to still have this many permit applications in early December.

“This is always the way it happens,” Litterst said.
