Pro-Cuba activists' meeting with Senator Menendez's office leads to arrests
On Thursday, pro-Cuba activists demanding the end of sanctions against Cuba and the removal of Cuba from the "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list entered Senator Bob Menendez's office unannounced.
The group demanded a meeting with the senator, and the office instead provided a staffer focused on Latin America, who listened to their demands.
When the staffer left, the group refused to leave the office, which escalated to Capitol Police being called to remove the group. Three activists stayed in spite of warnings and were arrested. They court dates are reportedly scheduled for July.

Thousands marched on Sunday from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for a "Defeat the Mandates" rally.
"We, the people, will not comply!" chanted people marching along the Reflecting Pool.
Counter-demonstration to the "Defeat the mandates" event was sparse. A handful of activists wore tin foil hats and mocked the group as they marched by.
