Amy Schumer has been reportedly detained in Washington D.C. while protesting Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

In various videos posted to Twitter the actress was seen saying, “Yes,” to an officer who asked her if she “wanted to be arrested” while at the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday.

The protest was organized in part by the Women’s March group. Schumer was holding a “We believe Anita Hill” sign.

Local reporter Samantha-Jo Roth also posted a video of a group of women chanting, “We won’t go back,” writing “Amy Schumer is among those being arrested here!”

In a selfie video posted by a social media user, Schumer said to the camera, “Hi Zola, I’m here with your mom, she loves you very much, I think we’re gonna get arrested and we’re so proud of you.”

Other celebrities that joined Schumer in efforts to stop the vote for Kavanaugh included model Emily Ratajkowski, who wrote on Twitter: “Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power.”
