Summary
Videos from Washington, D.C., showed masked men linked to Patriot Front marching across Capitol Hill on Saturday, carrying American and Confederate flags and some upside-down U.S. flags.
WTOP footage near Union Station captured the group chanting “Reclaim America” and calling for immigrants to be removed, underscoring the anti-immigrant message behind the demonstration.
Other images and social-media videos placed the march near Eastern Market Metro and showed apparent Patriot Front members in masks and matching gear riding Metro.
The Anti-Defamation League identifies Patriot Front as a white supremacist group; the march followed an earlier Capitol Hill protest during the city’s July 4 “Salute to America” events.
