U.S. Park Police arrested seven Occupy DC protesters outside the White House Tuesday night after they sat on the sidewalk and refused to move when police asked them to leave.
The Occupiers were protesting a section in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that they say permits the indefinite detention of terror suspects regardless of their nationality. Many said they wouldn't vote for President Obama unless he vetoed the bill.
About 25 protesters marched in a circle outside the White House until police told them to move behind a police line they'd set up between two light poles. There were about 25 U.S. Park Police on scene. This was the latest of three consecutive protests against the NDAA outside the White House this week; 11 were arrested at a protest Monday night.
Protester Marshall Scott said the group plans to continue the nightly protests until Obama vetoes the bill.
