    On what authority can they do this? Has it always been a crime to touch the reflecting pool?

      Its a national monument, which have rules about “removing materials” in the law protecting them.

      Its a pretty thin offense, and this is a wild over reaction, which is always a facists favorite move when they are wrong in a very visible way.
