Yesterday, on Captiol Hill, Congresswomen and Women’s March participants protested President Trump’s immigration policy.
And congresswoman, Rep Pramila Jayapal (WA-D) was arrested last night inside the Hart Senate Building in D.C. Fox News reports, “the protesters could have demonstrated outside but were arrested for being inside.”(VIDEO BELOW.)
Rep Jayapal tweets, “I was just arrested with 500+ women and @WomensMarch to say @RealDonaldTrump’s cruel zero-tolerance policy will not continue. Not in our country. Not in our name. June 30 we’re putting ourselves in the street again. Join us. http://Familiesbelongtogether.org “

ABC reports, “Sen. Tammy Duckworth was spotted in her wheelchair with her daughter in her lap. [Additionally,] Democratic Sens. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut visited the protesters to support their efforts.”
Furthermore, the Senators listed above seem to keep questionable company as Linda Sarsour and Women’s March organizer attended. It is not confirmed that she was one of the 575 arrested for “unlawfully demonstrating.” (VIDEO BELOW.)
