The USCP’s Unlawful Entry Arrest on June 16, 2022

July 18, 2022

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) has been working with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia on the June 16, 2022, Unlawful Entry case that involved a group of nine people associated with The Late Show.

The USCP arrested nine people for Unlawful Entry charges because members of the group had been told several times before they entered the Congressional buildings that they had to remain with a staff escort inside the buildings and they failed to do so.

The United States Capitol Police was just informed the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is declining to prosecute the case.

We respect the decision that office has made.

Any questions about that decision should be referred to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
