The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital, "MPD is monitoring First Amendment activity at this location and no arrests have been made at this time."
Fox 5 DC reported earlier in the day that another pro-Palestine protest had taken place nearby in Lafayette Square around 6 P.M. ET.
Police say one person was arrested and charged with reckless driving.
The protests further highlight the growing animosity Biden faces within his own party from activists calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanding the president do more to address the issue of civilian loss of life in Gaza.
Recent Fox News polling showed that support for Palestinians among Democrats has increased 17 points since October.
