12 immigration activists arrested at Pa. Capitol during anti-Trump protest
Twelve protestors of federal immigration detention policies were rounded up by Capitol Police and cited for disorderly conduct for blocking down traffic on Third Street in Harrisburg Monday.
The arrests occurred about 11:15 a.m., during a larger Capitol protest against Donald Trump's formal election, though those arrested were actually part of a separate rally seeking closure of a detention center in Berks County.
The demonstrators moved into the street in front of the Capitol steps and sat down, blocking traffic. All were led off the street and taken to the Dauphin County Booking Center for further processing.
After the citations are issued, they are expected to be released, said Capitol Police Superintendent Joseph Jacob.
