The U.S. Capitol Police announced that they arrested 26 people protesting in the street in opposition to Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination.
Capitol Police said officers responded to what they called unlawful demonstration activities on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C.
The 26 individuals were arrested for allegedly violating D.C. Code §22-1307, which prohibits "crowding, obstructing, or incommoding," a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for up to 90 days.
One other person was arrested on a charge of resisting arrest, police said, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment.
