Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen on video being escorted away, without handcuffs, from an abortion rights protest outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
In a sign of support, while being escorted from the premises, AOC threw her fist in the air at the rest of the protestors. She and several other members of Congress were arrested for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court.
The U.S. Capitol Police issued a statement on Tuesday about the incident and why the arrests were made.
