British police arrested four people after images of President Trump with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle on Tuesday night after he arrived for his second state visit to the U.K.
The big picture: The stunt by the British guerrilla campaign group Led By Donkeys, which targeted Trump on his last state visit to the U.K. in 2019, is one of several protests planned to coincide with the president's trip.
Driving the news: A day after protesters unfurled a massive banner photo of Trump and Epstein on the grounds of Windsor Castle, where Trump will meet with Britain's King Charles III on Wednesday, Led By Donkeys projected the video and still images onto the royal residence that's some 25 miles west of central London.
- Thames Valley Police said in a Tuesday night statement that the four people arrested "on suspicion of malicious communications following a public stunt in Windsor" remained in custody.
What they're saying: Thames Valley Police Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said officers took any unauthorized activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.
- "Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection," Parker said. "We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into the circumstances surrounding this incident."
