Two arrests near White House lead to brief lockdown

The Secret Service arrested two people near the White House on Monday following separate incidents at Lafayette Park. Shortly before 10 a.m., a vehicle struck the sidewalk surrounding the park, and the driver, described as combative with law enforcement, was quickly taken into custody. Around the same time, another individual jumped a barricade near the northwest corner of the park and was also promptly arrested. President Donald Trump was at home during both events, leading to a brief lockdown of the White House and temporary road closures. The agency is investigating the incidents and has not confirmed whether they are linked. The story is developing.
