House Speaker Mike Johnson is warning anyone who disrupts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Wednesday address to Congress that they will be arrested.
In a letter to lawmakers, Johnson emphasized congressional decorum rules and said there is a “zero-tolerance” policy for disruptions from members’ guests.
“If any disturbance does occur, the Sergeant at Arms and Capitol Police will remove the offending visitor(s) from the gallery and subject them to arrest,” Johnson wrote.
