What is upstairs at Union Station that could possibly be age restricted?
It seems like the regime is choosing egregiously implausible excuses to restrict people's actions.

They get off on causing others pain.

They also like to feel powerful, having the power of life and death over others.
Makes them feel important.

I want each and every ICE looking over their shoulder until all are identified and prosecuted.

My G-d! Somebody's going to get killed by being trampled to death! Then watching what looked like a body-slam of a teenage girl by a full grown man......

I don't think I had ID before getting a driver's license. I had a US passport but didn't carry that around with me when I was a teen.

For any DUers who don't know, Union Station basement is a fast food court popular with high school students who meet up for snacks after school. Also popular for school students visiting DC on field trips. Union Station is a major transit hub for metro, buses, commuter rail, etc.
