Protesters gathered at a congressional building in Washington to demand a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The demonstration resulted in numerous arrests and occupied a congressional building, which is generally not permitted. Three were charged with assault on a police officer.

      I’ve participated in protests where the protest leads specifically explain that there’s a huge chance of arrest and what to say/how to handle.

      I’ve been “arrested” for protesting once, where we were just collected, ID’ed, and then dropped off at a park a few miles away.
