UPDATE see reply - i've yet to find any corroboration of this.
From someone on FB #DCTakeover #UnionStation #DCUnionStation #ICE - posted 4:30pm 9/2/25. I don't know the exact time of the incident.
“Hundreds of commuters transferring from Metro to Amtrak or Marc, as my escalator delivers me into a loud chaotic scene. About 40-50 people in various levels of uniforms & body armor are chasing, tackling, handcuffing middle school aged kids still wearing their school uniforms. One child who couldn’t have weighed more than 90lbs had 7 officers on top of her being cuffed.
“Meanwhile, another officer is casually walking the perimeter spraying his pepper spray into the air, directly at cornered bystanders in corners, at people filming and directly into the crowds at the top of the escalator!
“Clueless commuters are being carried up, too late to go anywhere else, only to arrive into a surge of people trying desperately to escape back down the same escalator.”
