U.S. Capitol Police officers made arrests outside of the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, with the arrests coming after a crowd of 150 illegal and “violent protesters” gathered outside the building. It is not clear how many of the protesters have been arrested, but they appeared to call for a ceasefire and support Palestinians in the war between Hamas and Israel, according to Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA).

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping would maintain direct contact in the coming months.
