A poster for the last run’s hundred anniversary event June 15, 2025 at 1 PM. Reenactment begins at 635 North Carolina Ave. SE. and ends in Lincoln Park. On the poster is a sketch depiction of the last run, with the US capital in the background and an old-fashioned fire engine cart being pulled by three white horses as the driver holds desperately onto the reins

This Sunday (Fathers Day!) at 1p — cheer on the @dcfireems.bsky.social as they reenact the Last Run of the Horses, using a cosmetically preserved 1905 American LaFrance horse-drawn steam fire engine. All are welcome (re)live DC History!! www.hillrag.com/2025/06/09/c...

ICE WATCH 101: DC
BYSTANDER GUIDE

1. VERIFY THAT IT IS ICE
• It is important that you try & verify that it's ICE.
DC is uniquely overpoliced - apart from MPD, we have 30+ federal law enforcement agencies in the District. It can be difficult to tell them apart.
• Look at their badges, arm patches, vests/ jackets, and cars. ICE vehicles can be marked as ICE or DHS.

2. DOCUMENT BUT DO NOT ENGAGE
• Record the date, time, and location of the incident.
Be as specitic as possible!
• Take pictures and video. Try to capture pictures of the officers and their vehicles. Do NOT post the photos or video on social media.
• Other relevant info to document: How many agents are there? What are they doing?
• Do NOT engage. You could end up making things worse for the person being targeted.

3. CALL OUR HOTLINE: 202-335-1183

Entrance of the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, adorned with a large, blossoming pink floral archway. A blue and white cherry picker lift extends towards the arch, its bucket carrying two workers who appear to be adjusting the floral arrangement.

Above the entrance, a white banner with the black "W" logo and "WALDORF ASTORIA WASHINGTON DC" in smaller text hangs prominently. American flags flank the banner on either side. The building's facade is light-colored stone with arched doorways and windows.
In the foreground, the brick-paved area shows a partially completed section of the floral arch lying on the ground. Several people are visible in the periphery, including one individual walking away from the camera on the left.
