Arrests at the Reflecting Pool

by George Washington University

Newswise — Five individuals have been arrested on alleged vandalism charges at the Reflecting Pool. These arrests are raising questions about the legal standards for prosecuting damage to federal property and the government’s responsibility for maintaining historic landmarks.

Sara Bronin, a professor at the George Washington University Law School and a nationally recognized expert on property law, historic preservation, land use and government regulation, is available for comment. She previously served as chair of the U.S. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
