SEATTLE — Six people were arrested during a Seattle City Council meeting after disrupting the session and refusing to leave, according to police.

Officers were called to the council chambers at 2:55 p.m. Tuesday as demonstrators for refugee and migrant housing filled the room. Many got up to speak during the public comment period, but then loud outbursts and chants followed.

Article does not say why? Why would 6 people go to this length to get a message though? The omission of this has me raising an eyebrow.
