Fencing around the Capitol installed ahead of the “Justice for J6” rally on Saturday started coming down on Sunday afternoon, according to footage shared by several reporters on Twitter.

"And just as fast as it went up, the fence erected around the Capitol for the 'Justice for J6' rally is now coming back down," tweeted Associated Press reporter Mike Balsamo along with a video of construction workers hauling away sections of fence. 

NBC News producer Frank Thorp posted a video showing several men in neon gear dismantling the fencing using power tools. 

“And just like that, workers are already starting to take down the fencing around the US Capitol after yesterday’s so-called ‘Justice for J6’ rally,” Thorp tweeted.

The Hill has reached out to Capitol Police for more information.

The fencing was installed around the Capitol last week ahead of Saturday's rally to protest the criminal charges and treatment of individuals charged in connection with storming the Capitol earlier this year.
