Despite being invited and never asked to leave, the nine arrested had not been asked to leave.

The group was arrested for unlawful entry after failing to follow instructions before entering the Congressional buildings.

Police told some of the group of nine they would be escorted by congressional staffers, the U.S. attorney's office said.

U.S. attorneys explain that they must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these invited guests were unlawfully present.
