There's no city state in the US were the police don't have as part of their operational procedure on a breaking and entering to arrest an individual that exercises their right to silence. That doesn't exist. No Police Department in the US will just let you walk away after they just kicked you out of a building that was violently stormed if you just refuse to identify yourself.
In this case it's even more bizarre and out of the ordinary. The police executed a kettling maneuver but didn't even try to identify the individuals. They don't train police officers with the ACLU "how to act if you are being detained manual" dude, it's the other way around, they train them to try to dissuade you from committing property crimes by actively trying to make you not exercise your rights and identify yourself.
Being in the Capitol while it's on lockdown is enough evidence to get arrested if you can't produce a bagde or something. Letting this people walk out is completely unjustified from the usual DC Metro procedures.
