Protesters, which were estimated to be over 10,000, carried Palestinian flags and signs demanding a free Palestine. After the scheduled march reached the White House, protesters sprayed red paint on the northwestern gate of the residence, even prying it open at one point.
Secret Service reported that it was able to stop any trespass beyond the gate “without incident.” There were still protesters on the premises at the time of its report.
