Seventeen Democratic MPs arrested during a pro-abortion demonstration in Washington, not far from the Supreme Court and Capitol Hill. Among these also Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.
The news, released by the American media, was confirmed by the police: "We arrested 35 people, including 17 members of Congress, because after they were ordered three times to disperse, they refused to clear the road ".
Ocasio-Cortez has published a video in which an agent is seen making her turn away from the street in front of the Supreme Court, the same in which tens of thousands of people had gathered in the hours and days immediately following the sentence with which the 24 June the US Supreme Court denied the federal right to terminate pregnancy.
" Stopped during a civil disobedience action , I will do everything I can to raise the alarm about the attack on our reproductive rights," said Ilhan Omar.
