On Sunday, Washington, D.C. became the epicenter of conflicting demonstrations as rival groups gathered to voice their causes. Protesters opposing the unrest in Iran intersected with anti-ICE advocates and activists chanting “Free Palestine,” creating a charged atmosphere as each group attempted to make their voices heard.

Footage from the scene captured multiple protest factions converging in the same vicinity, resulting in a chaotic and occasionally combative environment.

An observer documenting the events noted that the size of the crowd had “quadrupled in a week,” indicating a significant increase in protest activity over recent days.

Among the demonstrators, some were seen carrying flags from pre-revolution Iran and placards with messages such as “The World is Watching,” a clear statement against Iran’s current government amidst the ongoing turmoil overseas.

The gathering comes as unrest has escalated in Iran, where armed protesters have clashed with police in Tehran and other cities, prompting warnings from President Donald Trump about a potential forceful U.S. response.

As the demonstrators moved through the area, they encountered another group chanting “Free Palestine,” prompting both sides to raise their voices and attempt to shout over one another. The competing chants continued for several moments, with neither group appearing willing to cede space.

While no physical altercations are visible in the video, the shouting underscored heightened tensions between the causes.

As the camera panned across the scene, it briefly focused on another group of demonstrators, including one person holding a photo of Trump. The person filming can be heard saying, “No Kings,” as crowd noise continued in the background.

The demonstrations unfolded as protests continue to spread nationwide following the fatal shooting of Minnesota woman Renée Good, who was killed last week during an encounter with an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

Federal officials said Good drove toward agents – a characterization denied by local leaders and family members, who described her as a devoted mother with no history of activism.

Authorities had not released information about arrests or injuries in Washington as of Sunday afternoon.
