The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that it has settled lawsuits with Black Lives Matter D.C. and other demonstrators over the police clearing of a June 2020 protest in Lafayette Square.
In the agreement settling four civil cases, the US Park Police and Secret Service “agreed to update and clarify their policies governing demonstrations, and to implement the policy changes within 30 days,” according to a DOJ press release.
The plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their claims filed over law enforcement’s response to the protests in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 2020.
