Demonstrators in white supremacist attire protest on Capitol Hill

Demonstrators wearing the insignia of the white supremacist group Patriot Front gathered in Washington, D.C., during the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. They marched through Capitol Hill and the Eastern Market neighborhood, displaying symbols associated with the group, including Confederate flags and upside-down U.S. flags. Protesters wore white masks, sunglasses, and tan caps, and chanted slogans like 'Life, liberty, victory!' and 'Reclaim America.' These demonstrations took place alongside the 'Salute to America' event on the National Mall, featuring a speech by former President Donald Trump and a fireworks display. Anti-Trump demonstrators later approached the White House with a Declaration of Independence banner and the slogan '8647,' referencing calls for Trump's removal. The Metropolitan Police Department acknowledged tracking First Amendment activities but emphasized commitment to public safety.
