100 Arrested in Poor People's Campaign Action at U.S. Capitol
-------------------------------------------------------------

More than 100 people were arrested at the U.S. Capitol Thursday in an
action organized by the Poor People's Campaign to protest the Trump
administration's mistreatment of immigrants. Among those arrested
included the Rev. William Barber and David Goodman, the brother of slain
civil rights worker Andrew Goodman. Thursday's action took place on the
anniversary of the 1964 disappearance of James Chaney, Michael Schwerner
and Andrew Goodman, whose bodies were found buried in a dam in
Philadelphia, Mississippi on August 4 of that year. The Poor People's
Campaign is holding a major march on the U.S. Capitol on Saturday.
