Capitol Police arrested pro-Palestinian protesters outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Wednesday night in Washington, D.C., as the anti-Israel demonstrators and officers started shoving each other.

“Right now our officers are working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting in the area of Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE,” Capitol Police posted on X. “Officers are making arrests. All Members have been evacuated from the area. Please stay away from the area.”

A social-media video shows the protesters standing in front of the DNC’s entrance while officers attempt to get them away from the doors.

“Our officers are continuing to keep the illegal protesters back from the area. Again, please stay away from the area near Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE,” the federal law-enforcement agency commented in an update. At the time, two roads were closed near the scene.

The groups, Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, were among the throng of participants. It was unclear how many arrests were made at the time of this writing.

Representative Sean Casten (D., Ill.) posted a thread to X, revealing he was one of the individuals evacuated from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee office “after the building was surrounded by protestors who had blocked all modes of ingress and egress. He implored the protesters to “don’t do something irresponsible.

“You have the Constitutional right to peaceably assemble and protest,” Casten said. “But blocking all entries to a building with multiple members of Congress in it, protected by Capitol Police officers who have lived through January 6 is putting you and other innocent people at risk.” The congressman thanked the Capitol Police for handling the situation safely and effectively.

Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) shared a notice, showing correspondence that said all House buildings were locked down in response to the demonstration.
