Isabella Giordano, a 20-year-old from Towson, Maryland, has been arrested and charged with vandalizing federal property during protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, D.C., on July 24, 2024. Giordano allegedly used red spray paint to write 'Gaza' on the Columbus Fountain and defaced two flagpoles, actions captured on video and reported by witnesses. Although the protest was initially permitted, the Park Police revoked it later that day, leading to chaotic demonstrations where protesters burned flags and spray-painted various structures. The National Park Service estimates the cleanup and repair costs at over $11,000. Giordano is facing one count of willfully injuring federal property, with potential penalties including fines and imprisonment. She was set to appear in court on Friday following her arrest.
