Felony charges have been brought against the two climate activists who allegedly defaced the US Constitution in the National Archives in Washington DC last month.
On Friday, the Department of Justice charged Donald Zepeda of Maryland and Jackson Green of Utah with felony destruction of government property, according to Fox News.
Zepeda and Green have been accused of dumping red powder on the case that displayed the historic document. The incident occurred on Feb 14 and the DOJ said their stunt caused more than $50,000 worth of damages.
The two activists are linked to Declare Emegerency, a left-leaning climate justice activist group that believes the world is under a climate emergency caused by fossil fuels, which they claim are genocidal and must be eliminated, according to its website.
