The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is a popular spot for protests, celebrations, and photos. It's known for its peaceful atmosphere but also for its murkiness and gnat-filled air. Entering the pool has always been illegal, but enforcement usually was light. That changed after President Donald Trump claimed vandals damaged the pool's liner. Court documents refer to a June 9 incident in which a sharp object was said to have cut the liner. National Guard members and the U.S. Park Police have increased patrols near the pool. One man was arrested for touching the peeling paint. Crews have added fencing, which the administration attributes to July Fourth preparations.

The District of Columbia has reached a settlement agreement for an undisclosed amount of money with a resident who claims police illegally detained him for following an Ohio National Guard patrol while playing Darth Vader’s theme song from “Star Wars” on his phone. Playing the song was part of Sam O'Hara's protest over President Donald Trump's law-enforcement surge in the nation’s capital last summer. A court filing late Thursday says the plaintiff, Sam O’Hara, will drop his lawsuit’s claims against the district and four Metropolitan Police Department officers within three business days of receiving the settlement payment. The filing doesn’t specify a dollar amount for the deal.
