WASHINGTON, D.C. – New Jersey Democrat Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman was arrested during a protest and disruption in front of the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday. The members of the Supreme Court were safe, guarded by police, and a security barrier that kept the left-wing protesters from approaching the building.
Instead, the left-wing activists disrupted traffic in front of the Supreme Court despite multiple warnings from U.S. Capitol Police.
According to the police, officers arrested 35 people, including 17 Members of Congress, for blocking First Street, NE, near the U.S. Supreme Court. The group of demonstrators went into the street around 1:15 p.m.
“It is against the law to block traffic, so officers gave the demonstrators three standard warnings to get out of the street,” police said.
When the demonstrators refused to get out of the street, the officers arrested them for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding.
