Demonstrators in white supremacist attire protest on Capitol Hill

Demonstrators affiliated with Patriot Front, a white supremacist group, protested in Washington D.C. on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, wearing white masks, tan caps, and carrying Confederate and upside-down U.S. flags. The event coincided with the 'Salute to America' celebration featuring President Donald Trump, while anti-Trump protesters later carried a Declaration of Independence banner and chanted a removal slogan. The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed monitoring the demonstrations as part of First Amendment activities.
