Susan Sarandon Arrested At Anti-Trump Protest
The Hollywood actress has said that getting arrested "was worth it".
71-year-old Susan Sarandon took to Twitter during the weekend to reveal that she'd been arrested by cops in Washington after participating in a sit-in rally to protest against the US President’s immigration policy on 28 June.
Cops charged a total of 575 women with unlawfully demonstrating at the rally that took place at a US Senate building.
“Arrested. Stay strong. Keep fighting. #WomenDisobey," Susan Sarandon wrote on Twitter.
She isn't by any means the first Hollywood star to be arrested at a protest. All the way back in 2006, Martin Sheen told Hot Press that he'd not regrets about being arrested a staggering 65 times for his involvement in protests.

Powerful, beautiful action with hundreds of women saying we demand the reunification of families separated by immoral ICE policy. This is what Democracy looks like. #WomenDisobey https://t.co/NDHDISPTPD pic.twitter.com/szBOJ43D6y
