Pro-Gaza protests have been frequently held at the U.S. Capitol complex since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, some of which have disrupted congressional proceedings. A group whose plans were known to USCP ahead of time began a protest in the Capitol Rotunda, the center of the complex, and were immediately arrested, USCP told the DCNF.
