US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among a group of prominent Democratic Party members to be arrested at a pro-choice abortion rally on Wednesday.
The group, which also contained Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush, joined a protest in front of the supreme court in the aftermath of Roe v Wade being overturned. They sat down in the middle of the street in an act of peaceful disobedience.
