On Wednesday, December 14, 2005 at approximately 11:35 a.m., members
of the Sojourners, a faith-based advocacy group assembled at the rotunda door of the
Cannon House Office Building. After several verbal warnings went unanswered, the
United States Capitol Police began placing those individuals under arrest. A
total of 115 people were arrested and charged with incommoding under D.C. code.
The individuals arrested are very cooperative and are still being processed
at this time.
If there are any questions about these events or security procedures,
you may contact the United States Capitol Police Public Information Office at
202-224-1677.
