Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was arrested at a rally to protest the conditions migrant families and children are being kept in under President Donald Trump‘s immigration policy.

Earlier on Thursday, Jayapal sent out his tweet, showing her arm held up and surrounded by #FamiliesBelongTogether protesters at the nation’s capital.

“We are in ALUMINUM blankets to symbolize the shoddy conditions children and mothers are being held in,” she tweeted out.

Video of the protest showed mostly women sitting and chanting at the Hart Building. It is unclear what, exactly, precipitated the arrests.
