Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested in one of the Senate office buildings on Tuesday afternoon after marching in the basement hallways and one of the cafeteria areas.

The protesters were arrested after demonstrating inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building, a spokesperson for the U.S. Capitol Police confirmed to the Washington Examiner. Approximately 50 of those protesters were charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding a congressional office building.
