Giant ‘8647' numbers appear on National Mall grass

On June 11, 2026, giant markings of the numbers 8647 appeared on the National Mall grass in Washington, DC. The U.S. Park Police are currently investigating the incident. These numbers have been utilized by critics of President Donald Trump's administration as a method of protest. While the Trump administration characterized the markings as a threat against the president, a judge recently ruled that the numbers alone constitute a form of protected free speech.
