Members of congress basically have domestic diplomatic immunity. They actually can't be arrested like this.


That is all...

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

AoC(ting!) and Ilhan Omar apparently hired some dudes to impersonate police and mock arrest them outside SCOTUS (where obeasts and roasties are still whining about the partial slow-down in the rate of murdered children).

I'm pretty sure they are all, or at least 95% are guilty of treason.
