During a pro-Palestinian protest outside the White House, Samuel Mena Jr. attempted self-immolation, igniting his arm. Bystanders quickly extinguished the flames before police intervened. Mena, who identifies as a visual storyteller, expressed anger about "misinformation" and "journalists" during the incident. This occurred just before the anniversary of the 2021 Hamas attack on Israel, amid heightened tensions surrounding a "National Day of Action."
