Capitol police clashed with violent protestors outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Washington, with authorities restraining the activists calling for a ceasefire in Gaza late on Nov. 15.

“Right now, our officers are working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting in the area of Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE,” the Capitol Police wrote in a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Officers are making arrests. All Members have been evacuated from the area. Please stay away from the area.”
