A new dark-money group is spending six figures to flood bus stops in the District of Columbia with posters that ask masked federal agents patrolling the city’s streets, “Why are you hiding your face?”

The group, Home of the Brave, has also recruited some well-known figures from the Trump resistance movement, including Harry Dunn, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer who defended his workplace from rioters on Jan. 6, 2021.

As Trump’s federal takeover of Washington continues, Home of the Brave is hoping to target its messaging toward the people living with the reality of a near-constant federal police presence.
