Eight Democratic lawmakers, including civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, were arrested outside the Capitol building Tuesday as part of an immigration reform demonstration.
The lawmakers — Reps. Joe Crowley, Raul Grijalva, Luis Gutierrez, Jan Schakowsky, Keith Ellison, Al Green, Charlie Rangel, and Lewis — were part of a group of more than 100 activists who conducted a peaceful sit-in blocking a street in the front of the Capitol, just feet away from the scene of last week’s shooting.
WIth thousands of protesters chanting “Si Se Puede” and jeering dozens of Capitol police officers, the lawmakers and scores of activists were handcuffed before being led off to wagons. It was unclear whether any of the people arrested would face charges.

This is very simple to understand.
The "progressives" want a civil war.
The people AGAINST Marxism just don't have the will to fight.
The radical alinsky's are winning without firing a shot with a lot of complacent "oh well'ers" doing nothing about it which might as well be tacet support.
There is no rule of law anymore.
America is done.
The imperial Obama wins! LOL!
I thought there was a shutdown? Why do these Illegal pric7s get to use the mall for anything?
Because that piece of crap president wants to make sure they can exercise their 1st Amendment Right, yet the piece of crap disrespects our SOLDIERS who fought and died to protect Americans, (NOT illegals) the right to their 1st Amendment and he shut down the World War II memorial.
To those LIBERALS out there, BITE ME for even calling this guy your President. He's holding America hostage.
About time Charlie Rangel was put in cuffs...he is such a crook...too bad they didn't arrest Pelosi, but then again, the jail probably doesn't want to have to maintain all that plastic in her face!
I'm with you, Joe! Vets at 95YO can't access the mall, but it's open to Illegal aliens and Charlie Rangel, the tax evader??????
Going ballistic here. He's actually staffing sites that have never been staffed in the effort to "close" the mall sites. Unless you are a total idiot, this INCREASES federal spending during the "shutdown".
Eat that, American a$$holes!
Are we there yet????
They should have arrested ALL of the illegals, taken them to the airport and put them on planes to their respective home countries!
No one will stand for the law anymore! Where are the REAL police?
What happened to the law?
It is being usurped by Obama and his regime.
America has given up.
demoncrats showboating. keep them locked up, then deport them as undesirables.
First, he president had nothing to do with this. The rally was scheduled long befor the gov shutdown. Secondly, everybody was either dispersed or detained, just like anyone else would have been.
