The U.S. Capitol Police arrested two people Saturday afternoon for “destruction of property” after “they were accused of throwing paint over the fence by the U.S. Supreme Court,” the department tweeted.
Demonstrators holding signs and chanting have been protesting outside of the Supreme Court for a second day, after Friday’s SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“We have seen a lot of chanting, a bit of confrontation because there have been people here on both sides of this issue, yelling at each other. It is largely peaceful,” CNN’s Joe Johns reported from the ground.
Women traveled to Washington, DC, from near and far — from Dallas, Texas to Sarasota, Florida, Johns said.
“We already walked this walk once and here we have to come back because of my daughter and all of the other people in the world this affects,” one woman told Johns.
