Washington Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal is among the more than 500 protesters who were arrested inside a Capitol office building on Thursday while demonstrating against President Trump’s illegal immigration policies.

The protest, which included hundreds demonstrators, took place in the Hart Senate Office Building. The protesters were calling for the abolishment of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and were heard chanting “abolish ICE." Most of the protesters were female.
Eva Malecki, a spokeswoman for the United States Capitol Police, said 575 individuals were charged with unlawfully demonstrating in the atrium of the building.

“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,” Jayapal tweeted.

It is rare that the Capitol Police would arrest a member on Capitol grounds. The protesters were arrested for demonstrating inside the building, according to two police officers. The officers said the protesters could have demonstrated outside but were arrested for being inside.

New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand also appeared at the demonstration, calling it “an amazing protest of women speaking out to be heard.”

“People across my state of New York, all across the country are furious with this administration’s policy to separate children from their parents,” Gillibrand said.

After an outcry over the separation of parents and children at the border, Trump last week signed an executive order to allow children to stay with parents caught crossing the border illegally.

At one point, protesters and police were seen battling over the signs in the building. Capitol police were seen trying to rip down “abolish ICE” signs from the balconies, but the protestors were keep trying to take them back and hang them up.

ARREST THESE POLITICIANS TOO!

SEPERATE THEM FROM THEIR KIDS AND PUT THEM IN JAIL!

Just proof that women are as big a group of criminals as men. I'm personally fed up now with the term "Women and Children". These people have turned the phrase into "Criminals and Pawns".

WOMEN AND CHILDREN...LOL

THEY ARE DISGUSTING TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO BREAK THE LAW TO GET WHAT THEY WANT RATHER THAN GET ON BIRTH CONTROL AND WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN YOUR COUNTRY!

NOW BOOT THEM ALL OUT...THEY ARE PATHETIC!

Yes, they are pathetic, pathetic con artists. They make me sick.

Abolishing ICE seems to be their new mantra. Actually it's going to work against them to show how open borders some on the left are now imo. Most Americans will not agree with this.

THEY HAVE 6 GRAND TO PAY A COYOTE...BUT DO NOT HAVE 2 BUCKS FOR BIRTH CONTROL!

GET THEM OUT OF HERE! THEY ARE LYING BABY FACTORIES THAT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR!

IT IS DISGUSTING AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THEIR ROMP IN THE DIRT...THEN LOOK WHAT THEY DO TO THEIR CHILDREN!

AGE OF CONSENT 12 YEARS OLD

DRAG 1 YEAR OLD ACROSS THE DESERT FOR FREE STUFF!

THEY MAKE ME SICK! NOW SEND THEM BACK!

CUT OFF THE FOREIGN AID AND SLAM THE BORDER SHUT!

THERE IS NOTHING "HUMAN" ABOUT WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO!

AND MELANIA NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF IT!
