Over 200 anti-Israel protesters detained outside Chuck Schumer's home

Wasn't there a thing about not arresting protesters outside a Judge's home?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] More than 200 pro-Palestine protesters were taken into custody Tuesday night after a 'Seder on the Streets' demonstration held outside the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
In Brooklyn on Tuesday, protesters held a Passover Sedar, a ritual holiday meal and service, while urging Schumer, the highest elected Jewish American, to support an end to the US sending weapons for Israel's war in Gaza, organizers said in a statement.
'Hundreds will risk arrest while demanding Senator Schumer, who has recently spoken sharply against Netanyahu, take the next step and stop arming Israel,' the statement said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed to DailyMail.com that 209 people were detained, though an official number of arrests will not be available until later Wednesday morning, as some of the mob may just receive a summons.
Far left groups Jewish Voice for Peace, far-left IfNotNow and Jews for Racial & Economic Justice led the estimated 2,000 protesters at Schumer's Prospect Park home.

Senator Schumer was no one near his home Tuesday, as he was leading the passage of a $95billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The package that passed 79-18 ties together $60 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel and Gaza and around $4 billion for the Indo-Pacific - and a measure that could see TikTok banned in the US.
'The bill the senator's just passed on the floor includes roughly $10 billion for humanitarian aid in Gaza and billions for Ukraine,' Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro told the New York Daily News in a statement.
'Everything in our tradition compels us to bring everything we have to stopping these historic atrocities being done in our names and with our tax dollars,' said Jewish Voice for Peace Executive Director Stefanie Fox to the New York Times.
Last month, Schumer, said he believes Israel should hold a new election once the war in Gaza winds down. He gave a scathing critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he put himself in a coalition with 'far-right extremists' and warned 'Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.'
Beth Miller, Jewish Voice for Peace's political director, said those words are meaningless if he continues to fund the Israeli operation.
The Israel security bill will offer $4 billion to replenish Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense system and billions more for weapons systems, artillery and munitions, as well as an additional $2.4 billion for US operations in the region.
Nine billion dollars in that bill goes to humanitarian relief for Palestinians in Gaza.
