WASHINGTON (7News) -- A months-long protest of the Trump administration has returned to its spot in front of D.C.'s Union Station after federal officials removed it in early October, citing an alleged violation, according to the group behind the encampment.
The group FLARE (For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere) posted on social media Sunday that they were allowed to restart their protest of Trump administration policies, which had been in place since May, before the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police removed it early morning, Oct 3.
7News spotted the encampment on Columbus Circle on Monday evening.

The group has been demanding the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump, among other things. Monday, they said, marked day 165 of the daily protest.
"Thank you to the vets at Remember Your Oath for letting our members keep vigil on site while we waited for our permit to be reinstated," a portion of their social media post said.
Park Police told 7News the permits were revoked over an alleged violation. Protestors said they were told they had to leave in part because one of their members assaulted an officer, which they also denied.
