Five where they belong, 430 to go.

Wonder who the other four are?

Too bad they're not in a Sudanese jail. They'd really get an education.

I imagine some of them are members of the racist bigoted military deserting Congressional Black Caucus

Arrested:

Uniformed Secret Service officers put plastic handcuffs on Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), John Lewis (D-Ga.), Donna Edwards (D-Md.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), and Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.)

It isn't made clear, but I believe this WAS in the USA, in Washington, DC, at the Sudanese Embassy. Likely arrested by DC cops. It would be nice if this had been made clear.

I can certainly vouch for John Lewis’s credentials on that score.

You mean 530, don’t you?

Can’t really argue with protesting against the Sudanese, though.

since Embassies are technically the sovereign territory of that country, is she on her way to a Sudanese jail?

A little Sudanese waterboarding would be nice but I doubt that the Sudanese thug leaders have anything that mild in their little bag of anti-American, anti-Jewish bag of interrogation tricks.
