The Capitol Police arrested 70 protesters Tuesday at the first day of the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Of the total, 61 were removed by Capitol Police from the Hart Office Building room where Senate Judiciary Committee members were giving opening statements for more than seven hours. Those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct.

The protesters, who represented a range of groups that want to defeat Kavanaugh’s confirmation, stood and yelled at lawmakers during the panel’s proceedings. They were led out of the hearing room by officers assembled and prepared for the unrest.
