Washington Nationals Ban Attendee Over White Nationalist Banner Calling for Deportation of 100+ Million

At least one attendee was banned from Nationals Park after three people unfurled a banner during Sunday’s game against the Orioles promoting a white nationalist website and calling for the deportation of “100+ million.”
The Nationals said the group resisted when an usher tried to confiscate the banner before they left, and the club said it had identified at least one person involved but would not release a name.
Jake Lang, a conservative influencer tied to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, claimed responsibility on social media for the banner, which appeared during the team’s pre-fourth-inning “Salute to Service” ceremony.
Nationals Park rules bar banners that disrupt games or contain derogatory material, and the incident also raised questions about how the sign cleared stadium security despite size and conduct restrictions.
