AOC & Ilhan Omar Among Dozens Arrested in Capitol ‘Insurrection’ Against Supreme Court

Prominent Squad members, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), were arrested outside the Supreme Court for protesting against the recent decision striking down Roe v. Wade.

 

 

“More than a dozen Democratic members of Congress were among those arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday afternoon as part of an abortion rights protest in front of the Supreme Court,” CNN reported.

Capitol Police later said they had arrested 34 people total, including 16 members of Congress. Among those arrested:
  • Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark of Massachusetts
  • Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts
  • Barbara Lee of California
  • Jackie Speier of California
  • Sara Jacobs of California
  • Ilhan Omar of Minnesota
  • Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey
  • Andy Levin of Michigan
  • Rashida Tlaib of Michigan
  • Jan Schakowsky of Illinois
  • Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania
  • Cori Bush of Missouri
  • Carolyn Maloney of New York
  • Nydia Velazquez of New York
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York
  • Alma Adams of North Carolina

Ilhan Omar made the announcement about her “arrest” on Twitter.

 

“Today I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action with my fellow Members of Congress outside the Supreme Court,” she argued. “I will continue to do everything in my power to raise the alarm about the assault on our reproductive rights!”

“Reproductive rights” is a radical Democrat euphemism for murdering unborn babies.

Omar and other lawmakers led a demonstration near the Supreme Court with chants of “our body, our choice.” These were the same lawmakers who unironically supported Covid vaccine mandataes throughout the pandemic.

The assistant House speaker Katherine Clark was also arrested, per Axios reporter Andrew Solender.

 

Benny Johnson called it a “fake arrest” and showed AOC posing with raised fist for the photoshoot.

 

The Feds appeared to participate in the staged “arrest.” Johnson also noted that Omar’s arrest appeared to be “fake.”

 

Here is Omar walking with a police officer at the time of the reported arrest.

No one has been thrown in indefinite detention for defying the ruling of the Supreme Court, as of publication.
