On July 4, 2026, a group of masked individuals marched across Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., carrying a mix of Confederate and American flags, some displayed upside down. The group was reported to chant phrases associated with the white supremacist group Patriot Front, including 'Reclaim America, reclaim America.' A video captured near Union Station showed the group calling for the removal of immigrants. Some members were seen carrying flags featuring the Patriot Front logo, which the Anti-Defamation League identifies as a white supremacist organization. Additional footage on social media showed the group marching near the Eastern Market Metro station, and a photograph by Getty Images depicted individuals in masks and Patriot Front attire riding the Metro.
