Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee was arrested Thursday by Capitol Police during a protest at the Hart Senate Office Building.
Lee, a Representative from Texas, was protesting to pressure Congress to eliminate the filibuster and nationalize election law.
“I will NEVER stop fighting for Voting Rights!” the congresswoman tweeted. “The time is NOW to move the voting rights bills in the US Senate forward!! Enough is enough.”
The message was accompanied by an image of Lee being escorted away by police with zip ties around her wrists.

Lee now becomes the third Democrat to be arrested at the Senate office building in an effort to protest in support of nationalized election law.
She tagged her protest with the hashtag ‘#GoodTrouble,’ a reference to the late congressman John Lewis, who was beaten on ‘Bloody Sunday’ while demonstrating for actual voting rights.
