Capitol Police Arrest Anti-Israel Protesters on Capitol Hill

The arrests were part of a larger demonstration demanding a Gaza ceasefire and immigrant protections in the U.S..

U.S. Capitol Police arrested demonstrators inside the Cannon House Office Building, who were protesting for a Gaza ceasefire and immigrant protections.
The protests, organized by United We Dream and Adalah Justice Project, called for an end to U.S. weapon sales to Israel and the creation of pathways to citizenship for immigrants.
Protesters wore pro-Palestinian apparel and chanted 'ceasefire now!' while staging die-ins and holding banners.
Actress Susan Sarandon and CODEPINK also participated, criticizing U.S. lawmakers for their support of Israel and demanding the restoration of UNRWA funding.
The demonstrations highlight a growing call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict and a reevaluation of U.S. foreign policy and immigration practices.
