Several members of Congress, including anti-semite Rep. Ilhan Omar, were arrested Tuesday by Capitol Police as they protested against the overturning of Roe v. Wade outside the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Another lightning rod, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seemingly tried to get arrested but was instead escorted away from the area while looking very pleased with herself.
The protesters were blocking traffic and had received ample warning from police that they would be arrested if they didn’t move.
“It is against the law to block traffic, so officers are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests,” Capitol Police tweeted.
Several minutes later, police said that “some of the demonstrators are refusing to get out of the street, so we are starting to make arrests.”
At least one other member of Congress besides Omar was arrested – Rep. Alma Adams of North Carolina.
Video from the scene showed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., being led away by police with her arms crossed behind her back, though no handcuffs were visible.
Today I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action with my fellow Members of Congress outside the Supreme Court.
I will continue to do everything in my power to raise the alarm about the assault on our reproductive rights! ✊🏽pic.twitter.com/rpFYOGBDf4

Between seconds 7 and 8 you can see Omar’s hand with a black watch fixing herself after she got up. So she was definitely not cuffed at that point.
“Reproductive rights”?! – How is aborting a baby “reproductive”? – These democrats rebranding of things is getting ridiculous…
This is so much more despicable & horrifying than January 6th ever was, and every politician who was arrested has to be defrocked of their position & sent to prison for decades.
January 6th committee need to put their unimportant case on hold indefinitely to take care of today’s horrendous debacle
Lock Her Up. Lock Her Up.
we must have a congressional hearing on this ; protesting against the supreme court this is worse than jan. 6
Ilhan Omar is the world’s craftiness hypocrit. In Ms. Muslim’s religion abortion is illegal.
People from Congress or in the Senate should have a mandatory fine of over $10,000.00 for the publicity stunt. No free lunches, sweetheart. Pay to play.
Wikipedia “ There are four Sunni Islam schools of thought—Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Hanbali and Maliki—and they have their own reservations on if and when abortions can happen in Islam. The Maliki madhhab holds “that the fetus is ensouled at the moment of conception” and thus “most Malikis do not permit abortion at any point, seeing God’s hand as actively forming the fetus at every stage of development”.
Can someone please ask Omar who is a Muslim zealot with head coverings and is fighting in US for pro abortion movement when in fact in Islam it’s forbidden to have abortion?
Could it be, maybe, that this Trojan horse planted in US the government to demoralize and reduce birth rates and fight to allow for more illigal immigrants to vote illegally to eventually bring down the US constitutional government?
I don’t know.
It’s likely she wasn’t cuffed. FWIW whenever a cop arrests you it is prudent to put your hands behind your back, regarless of whether you are being cuffed or not.
Only the lives of Arab terrorists matter; but not the lives of the unborn child – shame her mother didn’t do abortion. By the way, in which muslim country is abortion permitted?
You know that sometimes Rabbanim actually pasken that the baby should be killed… in certain situations… like when a mothers life is at risk…
It would be terrible if they pass the law…
I’m happy someone is protesting…
Birth control. These women are being paid to create havoc.
I have a theory…147 and rt are the same person. Their IQ is for sure the same.
147 is a troll account
Zmantel, that is a completely dishonest argument. There are NO STATES where it is illegal to save a mother’s life at the cost of the baby’s life. NONE. And there are no states where such a law is even being contemplated or proposed. There is no prospect whatsoever of such a ban ever being imposed, anywhere. So raising it is simply a dishonest tactic, a red herring, to distract attention from the fact that Roe v Wade was a literal Holocaust. Sixty million babies were slaughtered in cold blood. And it is still happening in those states that allow it.
Once a baby is past 40 days, there is NO HETER to kill it for any reason that would not also justify killing a grown person, i.e. if the baby is a rodef.
Reiven, so who says she’s a Maliki?
why didn’t her mother abort her?
ilhan omar is the problem, not the supreme court or even the laws on abortion. she is not suitable to be a member of congress, and the sooner she gets voted out, the better.
Disgusting the examples of all the other thugs out there
