U.S. Capitol Police detained a group of peaceful protestors on Wednesday, including several people in wheelchairs, during a protest over proposed cuts to Medicaid spending on Capitol Hill.

Scripps News footage shows a crowd of people, some of them in wheelchairs, being zip-tied and escorted out of the Russell Senate Rotunda. The room is part of a Senate office building on Capitol Hill.

The protests are over proposed Medicaid cuts included in the "Big Beautiful Bill," which would remove coverage for some 10 million of the poorest Americans over the next decade as well as implement additional work requirements for those using Medicaid.
