Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, has initiated an inquiry into the National Park Service (NPS) regarding the handling of a pro-Hamas protest that took place in Washington, D.C. on July 24.
Despite prior notification and the issuance of a substantial permit to the left-wing anti-Israel group ANSWER Coalition, NPS reportedly deployed only 29 officers, leaving them significantly outnumbered by the protesters. In contrast, Amtrak Police, responsible for security at Union Station, notably increased their presence and effectively managed the area during the demonstration.
