Two activists accused of throwing a red powder on the U.S. Constitution display case at the National Archives last month are now facing felony charges, the Justice Department (DOJ) announced Friday.
Donald Zepeda, 35, of Maryland, and Jackson Green, 27, of Utah, were charged with felony destruction of government property for dumping the fine red powder all over the display case in an indictment that was unsealed in District Count on Thursday, per the DOJ.
Conservationists worked to clean up the building’s rotunda after the protestors dumped the powder as part of a stunt intended to draw attention to climate change. The cost of cleaning up the powder has already exceeded $50,000 and closed the rotunda for four days, the DOJ said.
The Associated Press was granted access to the rotunda, where employees were cleaning the pinkish-red powder from the “nooks and crannies” of the document’s protective housing. Crews were hesitant to use water or liquids to clean the powder since they did not know what it consisted of.

Amen
“While they are at it, fire those fake security guards who stood by and watched.”
Nonsense. According to FR’s surrender monkey cult, those fat, middle-age female security guards, who don’t know what bathroom to use, will sweep down on America and seize every weapon and throw a million Americans into camps.
Good point.
A better word to describe them would be “vandals.”
Sounds like an insurrection to me ...
With this DOJ the beneficial publicity is accomplished and the reality of felony accountability will go quietly away.
Oh, now, we can't have that! They're government employees!
(Do I really need a sarc tag?)
