U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison was arrested Tuesday by U.S. Capitol Police during an immigration rally on the National Mall.
As protestors marched toward the U.S. Capitol, Ellison and several other House Democrats sat in the middle of Independence Avenue, blocking rush hour traffic.
Police led Ellison away in cuffs shortly after 4 p.m.
Ellison’s office said the move was an act of “civil disobedience” designed to urge Congress to pass legislation that would allow the nation’s undocumented immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship.
The march was held on the National Mall even though the open-area park is closed due to the federal government shutdown.

My only wish was that the same cops who filled that lady full of bullets had been there. They might have gotten the job done.

Lawbreaking democrats. Nothing surprising here. Remember the days when legislators were expected to maintain a positive image?
