Roughly 60 people who were protesting President Trump’s Army anniversary parade and his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles were arrested outside the U.S. Capitol Friday, authorities said.

The situation unfolded with approximately 75 people protesting at the Supreme Court Friday evening, Capitol Police said in a statement. A short time later, 60 of those left the Supreme Court and made their way to the U.S. Capitol, where police started to establish a perimeter, authorities said.

Capitol Police said the protesters then “crossed” a police line “while running” toward the building.

“A few people pushed the bike rack down and illegally crossed the police line while running towards the Rotunda Steps,” Capitol Police said. “Our officers immediately blocked the group and began making arrests.”
