Hundreds of demonstrators filled the streets and historic sites of Washington, D.C. on Saturday to dance, wave terrorist flags and sing songs to stand against the Trump administration in multiple coordinated protests.
The Daily Caller News Foundation captured scenes from the “Hands Off 2025” protests and the anti-Israel “March on Washington” that both occurred Saturday. The crowds were there to protest Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport alleged terrorism supporters, and the supposed threat to “democracy” the administration poses.
Videos and photos showed the activists marching through streets, honoring Hamas, waving an Antifa flag, inviting a group of young girls to sing indecipherably before the crowd, dancing to an “Earth, Wind and Fire” song and chanting to rap music about how they “want Elon and Trump to leave.”
Signs the protesters held bore statements ranging from “Fuck ICE” to “Dogs against DOGE” to “divorce your MAGA Republican husbands.”
