Three members of Congress and the speaker of New York’s City Council have been arrested at a protest outside Trump Tower.

U.S. Reps Raul Grijalva, of Arizona, Luis Gutierrez, of Illinois, and Adriano Espaillat, of New York, were among a small group of demonstrators who sat down in the street on Fifth Avenue Tuesday afternoon and refused to move.

New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito was also handcuffed and led away.
