Climate Change Protesters Vandalize US Constitution at National Archives

The National Archives in Washington, D.C., closed after two climate change protesters dumped red powder on the case holding the U.S. Constitution, with the encasement protecting the document from damage. The suspects, identified as Donald Zepeda and Jackson Green, were detained by security personnel. The National Archives rotunda will remain closed for cleaning, while the rest of the building will be open to visitors. The agency's conservators are evaluating the damage, and the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
