At least 17 Democratic members of the US Congress have been arrested at an abortion rights protest in Washington DC, police say.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar were among those detained near the Supreme Court.
They were seen chanting "hands off our bodies" and blocking a street before being led away by police.
The protest follows a Supreme Court ruling that ended the nationwide right to abortion.
