Published



Protesters in Washington chanted “Whose Street? Our street!” and “Go home!” at federal and local law enforcement officers conducting a vehicle checkpoint stop across 14th Street NW on Wednesday night. Dozens of Department of Homeland Security and Metropolitan Police Department officers stood on the block between V and W streets to question passing drivers while several protesters directed traffic away from the scene.

Officers at the traffic safety compliance checkpoint issued 38 notices of infractions and made one arrest, according to an MPD spokesperson.
