More than a dozen transgender rights activists were arrested Thursday after staging a protest in a women’s bathroom right next to the office of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) Chelsea Manning , the trans activist and former U.S. military intelligence analyst, was among the protesters.

The demonstration was in response to Johnson 's new House policy, but also aimed at Rep. Nancy Mace .

Mace has introduced at least two bills aimed at pushing transgender people out of public spaces.

The South Carolina Republican later posted on social media what the bullhorn was for: reading aloud people’s Miranda rights outside of Capitol Police headquarters as trans rights protesters were being processed after their arrest.

Pocan said he told Johnson he hoped there would be enough unisex restrooms throughout the Capitol complex.
