21 Protesters Charged With Unlawful Conduct by Capitol Police Ahead of Amy Coney Barrett's Confirmat
Source: Newsweek
United States Capitol Police arrested at least 21 protesters who demonstrated outside the Dirksen Senate Office building in Washington, D.C., early Monday morning, less than an hour before Judge Amy Coney Barrett's first Supreme Court confirmation hearing commenced. Barrett, an Appeals Court judge in Indiana, would become President Donald Trump's third nominee to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court since Trump assumed office almost four years ago.
Barrett appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the first of four confirmation hearings due to take place throughout the week. Joined by several members who participated virtually, members of the committee gathered inside the Hart Senate Office building for Monday's hearing. The Hart and Dirksen offices are located in adjoining buildings.
Protesters were arrested for "unlawful demonstration activities" prior to Monday's hearing, according to Capitol Police, and one individual was charged with unlawful conduct.
"At approximately 8:35 a.m., United States Capitol Police responded to unlawful demonstration activities outside of the Dirksen Senate Office Building," Capitol Police said in a statement sent to Newsweek early Monday afternoon. Individuals taken into custody were charged with crowding, obstruction for incommoding, in addition to the individual arrested and charged with unlawful conduct.
