Nearly 100 Arrested at Protest Outside Gillibrand's NYC Office Over Arms Sales

About 100 people were arrested at a Manhattan protest outside the offices of Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, urging them to block U.S. arms sales to Israel. Left-leaning outlets frame the sit-in as pressure on Gillibrand to oppose further arms transfers, foregrounding activists’ slogans and claims. Center outlets largely give a factual account of the arrests and demands; The New York Times also includes official and administration perspectives.
