一名美国空军少校周三在美国国会山台阶上被捕,此前他在一场新闻发布会上发表演讲,呼吁弹劾并罢免总统唐纳德·特朗普和副总统J·D·万斯。

grassroots维权组织“罢免联盟”表示,杰森·沃森的逮捕事件发生在他在该组织组织的新闻发布会上发言之后。在新闻发布会上,沃森表明自己是现役军人,并身着军装。得克萨斯州民主党众议员阿尔·格林也出席了此次活动。

美国国会警方证实了此次逮捕行动,并表示除非有国会议员陪同,否则公众不得在众议院台阶上举行示威活动。

警方在一份声明中表示,沃森由一名国会议员“护送”至台阶处,该议员随后“离开了现场”,之后警方向沃森下达了“停止非法示威的合法命令,否则将予以逮捕”。

美国国会警方补充道:“该男子拒绝遵守我们的合法命令,随后因22-1307条款‘拥挤、阻碍和妨碍通行’被捕”,并指出国会山场地内另有允许示威的区域。

周二,华盛顿特区高等法院一名官员告诉CNN,沃森已被释放,针对他的相关案件将不会被提起。原本将决定不起诉沃森的华盛顿特区总检察长办公室未立即回应置评请求。

CNN已联系美国空军确认沃森是否为现役军人,但尚未立即收到回复。

据“罢免联盟”在网上发布的视频显示,沃森在演讲中批评特朗普政府近期在委内瑞拉和伊朗的军事行动,以及特朗普的移民执法打击政策,称这些行为违反了多项宪法条款。

“正因如此,总统和副总统必须遭到弹劾、定罪并罢免,”沃森说道。目前尚不清楚沃森目前是否有法律代表。

现役军人队伍中的公开异议十分罕见,因为军人需根据《统一军事司法法典》服从命令,该法典第88条将针对总统、副总统、国会及其他高级官员的轻蔑言论定为犯罪。军人还被禁止在参与政治集会时身着军装。

组织此次新闻发布会的“罢免联盟”创始人杰西卡·登森表示,沃森通过电子邮件联系了他们,并且清楚自己的行为可能带来的后果。

“我们开始了对话,认真对待他想要公开表态的意愿,并思考如何让他的牺牲更有价值,”她说道。

格林随后在社交媒体上发布视频,赞扬沃森的行动。

“我刚离开国会山,当时我在现场见证了一名美国空军少校为伸张正义而奋斗,”格林说道。他补充道,沃森在被捕并被带走前“一直主张弹劾总统”。

CNN已联系格林的办公室寻求置评。

A US Air Force major was arrested on the steps of the US Capitol on Wednesday after delivering a speech calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The arrest of Jason Watson occurred after he spoke at a news conference organized by Removal Coalition, the grassroots, activist group said. During the news conference, Watson identified himself as an active-duty service member and wore a military uniform. Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas also attended the event.

US Capitol Police, which confirmed the arrest, said members of the public may not demonstrate on the steps of the House unless they are accompanied by a member of Congress.

Watson was “escorted” to the steps by a member of Congress, who “left the area,” before police gave Watson “lawful orders to stop the illegal demonstration or he would be arrested,” the police said in a statement.

“The man refused our lawful orders and was then arrested for 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding,” US Capitol Police added, noting that there are other spots on the Capitol grounds where demonstrating is allowed.

On Tuesday, a DC superior court official told CNN Watson is being released and a possible case against him will not be filed. The DC attorney general, which would have decided to not charge Watson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

CNN reached out to the US Air Force to confirm whether Watson is an active-duty service member, but did not immediately receive a response.

During his speech, Watson criticized the Trump administration’s recent military actions in Venezuela and Iran and Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown, arguing it violated multiple constitutional provisions, according to a video posted online by the group Removal Coalition.

“For this, the president and vice president must be impeached, convicted, and removed,” Watson said. It’s unknown if Watson has legal representation at this time.

Public dissent within active-duty military ranks is rare as service members are required to follow orders in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which criminalizes contemptuous words against the president, vice president, Congress and other top officials under Article 88. Service members are also prohibited from wearing uniform while participating in political rallies.

Jessica Denson, the founder of Removal Coalition, which organized the press conference, said Watson had reached out to them via email and understood the potential consequences of his actions.

“We started having conversations and took this desire that he had to come out very seriously and thought about the best way to make his sacrifice worth it,” she said.

Green later posted a video on social media praising Watson’s action.

“I just left the Capitol grounds, and I was there to witness a major in the United States military bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice,” Green said. He added that Watson had “stood for impeachment of the president” before he was arrested and taken away.

CNN has reached out to Green’s office for comment.
