WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- A Maryland woman was sentenced last week for spray painting multiple flagpoles and a fountain during a pro-Palestine demonstration outside of Union Station in July, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia (USADC). Isabella Giordano, 21, of Towson, was sentenced in federal court on Wednesday, March 19, to six months of probation. According to court documents, on July 24, 2024, an organization was granted a permit to demonstrate near Columbus Circle, directly in front of Union Station, from about 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. This is the same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his address to Congress. Demonstrators began to gather in Columbus Circle at around 2:50 p.m., but United States Park Police (USPP) officials said they revoked the permit after they couldn't get in touch with protest organizers. Several protestors who gathered in the area pulled down flags from flagpoles, burned flags and other objects, sprayed graffiti on multiple statutes and interfered with the police's ability to arrest people, according to the USADC.

She also spray-painted the base of two flagpoles in Columbus Circle. The USADC noted that the flags pulled down from the poles and the statutes and structures in Columbus Circle are all federal government property. The National Park Service (NPS) estimated the cost to repair and clean the site following the protests would be about $11,282.23.

Two days later, police received two tips identifying Giordano. Giordano pleaded guilty to destruction of government property before a U.S. District Court judge. In addition to probation, the judge ordered her to pay $500 in restitution to NPS. Several protestors were arrested and charged following the demonstration outside Union Station, including a Chicago man accused of assaulting two police officers and a North Carolina man accused of taking a flag from a federal flagpole and burning it. ...read more read less
