At least 17 Democratic lawmakers, including Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been arrested at an abortion rights protest outside the United States Supreme Court, amid increasing anger over the controversial overturning of Roe v Wade last month.The US Capitol police said on Twitter that the demonstrators had blocked traffic on a nearby road and were given three warnings before officers made the arrests.“We made a total of 35 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding,” the police said. “That arrest number includes 17 Members of Congress.”
