According to the report, more than 60 U.S. military veterans, including several former service members and military family members, were arrested after holding a peaceful protest.
The report states that the veterans gathered inside the building, and many of them were wearing military uniforms.
According to the report, they called for an end to U.S. military involvement outside the country and carried banners reading “End the war against Iran” and “We cannot afford another war.”
