Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the far-left group “the squad” were escorted away from the Supreme Court Tuesday afternoon during a protest.

Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush tweeted that she and her colleagues “put” their “bodies on the line” during the protest.

“I introduced legislation yesterday and today to protect reproductive freedom. Today my colleagues and I put our bodies on the line—because we will leave no stone unturned in our fight for justice. Bans off our bodies,” Bush said.

It is unclear if the members of Congress were arrested or detained, or if they were just escorted away from the protest. In one video they can be seen sitting in an area with yellow police tape around it.

The Daily Caller contacted Ocasio-Cortez’s office and the U.S. Capitol Police about the videos to which Capitol Police said they would be releasing final arrest numbers later in the afternoon.
