Airbnb has been canceling home-sharing reservations in the Washington D.C. area for the week of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration after law enforcement warned of a threat from armed militias, the rental platform said on Wednesday. Airbnb said it made the decision after consulting local and federal officials and after a number of hosts worried about potential attacks sought to cancel bookings. "We are aware of reports emerging yesterday afternoon regarding armed militias and known hate groups that are attempting to travel and disrupt the Inauguration," Airbnb said.
