(CNN) -- Comedian Amy Schumer and model-actress Emily Ratajkowski were among more than 300 people arrested Thursday in protests over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.‏

Hundreds of people turned up at a US Senate building in the nation's capital to challenge Kavanaugh's nomination after three women accused him of various forms of sexual misconduct. Schumer and Ratajkowski were among them.

Capitol Police said they arrested 302 people during the demonstrations. Video from the scene shows the two actresses being detained after an officer asks if they want to be arrested.

Additional footage shows them waiting to be processed near a wall with officers. Schumer told a CNN producer she was arrested. Ratajkowski said on social media that she was arrested, too.

"Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power," Ratajkowski tweeted.

Schumer and Ratajkowski appeared in the 2018 comedy "I Feel Pretty."

The two were among crowds of activists who descended on Capitol Hill while lawmakers reviewed the FBI report on the allegations against Kavanaugh.

Protesters gathered at the Hart Senate Building atrium after Capitol Police barricaded the front of the Capitol. The Women's March, a liberal organization that originated as a grassroots movement in opposition to President Donald Trump, was one of multiple groups tweeting from the protest at the Capitol building.

Following Kavanaugh's nomination and his initial hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Christine Blasey Ford came forward with an allegation that Kavanaugh sexually and physically assaulted her while they were both at a party during high school more than three decades ago.

Kavanaugh and Ford both appeared before the committee last week, where lawmakers and a sex crimes prosecutor asked the two questions about the alleged incident.

The day after the hearing, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed to ask Trump to call on the FBI to conduct another supplemental background investigation into the allegations.

Trump did so -- and on Thursday, the Senate began reviewing the FBI's results after receiving the report early that morning. Lawmakers are expected to vote on Kavanaugh's nomination in the coming days. </s> (CNN) — Comedian Amy Schumer and model-actress Emily Ratajkowski were among more than 300 people arrested Thursday in protests over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.‏

Lawmakers are expected to vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination in the coming days. </s> President Donald Trump posted a tweet railing against the "very rude" protesters who have been flooding Capitol Hill ahead of the expected cloture vote to end debate on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

"The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love! #Troublemakers," Trump wrote in a tweet, referencing unsubstantiated claims that Democratic donor George Soros is involved.

The mention of an "elevator screamer" could be a reference to the woman who confronted Sen. Jeff Flake as he was on his way to the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote on Sept. 27. The protester, who is an activist and identified herself as a sexual assault survivor, yelled at Flake for supporting Kavanaugh, who has denied accusations of sexual assault.

Trump's tweet came after Capitol Police arrested 302 people for unlawfully demonstrating in the Senate office buildings on Thursday.

The names of the protesters have not been confirmed by police "due to the large number being processed," but some famous faces in the crowd have identified themselves.

Actress Piper Perabo was one of 70 protesters arrested in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday by Capitol Hill police, she claims.

The Coyote Ugly and Covert Affairs star, 41, had been protesting the first day of hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when she was escorted out by police, according to a video she later tweeted.

“I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings,” Perabo wrote in her tweet. “Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can’t be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away.”

The clip Perabo tweeted showed her being removed from the hearing room while she and other women interrupted the proceedings to demand senators don’t vote to confirm the Trump-nominated judge.

Capitol Hill police and a rep for the actress did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Authorities said in a statement on Tuesday obtained by CNN that they had “responded to numerous incidents of unlawful demonstration activities within the Senate Office Buildings today that were associated with the first day of hearings held by the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

Of the 71 people arrested, 61 people were removed from one Senate office building and charged with disorderly conduct while nine more were pulled from another office building “for unlawful demonstration activities” and charged with “crowding, obstructing or incommoding.”

Perabo, who has been outspoken on Twitter about her disapproval of Kavanaugh’s possible appointment, later tweeted a photo of herself with other women who had been protesting and were also allegedly arrested. She also included some of their handles.

“Proud to stand with them, and stand up for equal rights,” she wrote.

“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually,” Perabo wrote on a selfie in front of a D.C. court building, quoting James A. Baldwin.

If approved by the Senate, Kavanaugh, 53, who currently serves as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, would take the seat of Justice Anthony Kennedy following his retirement from the bench.

The news of Kennedy’s retirement has stoked fears among Democrats, abortion rights activists and everyday citizens that Trump’s nominee could lead to the repeal of the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, which legalized abortion across the United States.

Kavanaugh’s hearings resumed on Wednesday morning — as did Perabo’s tweeting. </s> With Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination speeding toward a Senate confirmation vote, demonstrators descended on Washington, D.C., to declare their urgent opposition to his bid.

The throng of protesters gathered in the early afternoon outside the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse — where Kavanaugh serves as a federal appellate court judge — and then marched to the steps of the Supreme Court building less than a mile away. All the while they carried signs and shouted slogans rejecting President Trump's nominee, who has been the subject of several sexual misconduct allegations in recent weeks.

There, on the steps of the Supreme Court, a series of speakers drove home their central theme: "We believe survivors."

The protest comes precisely a week after Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, delivered dueling testimonies to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Ford alleges that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were in high school in the 1980s. Kavanaugh, for his part, flatly denies the allegation, and he has the backing of Trump and dozens of GOP senators.

The protest also comes the same day that senators reviewed the FBI inquiry into the accusation, an inquiry that Democrats have rejected as too limited. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey had some particularly harsh words for it — including one we can't use here.

As this political drama unfolded among senators, the protesters made their way into the Hart Senate Office Building's atrium. "Hey, hey, ho, ho — Kavanaugh has got to go," the black-clad demonstrators shouted in the cavernous central area, circled by police officers.

Those officers eventually detained a number of those protesters and led them out of the building, while some Senate staffers watched from the hallways above them.

Others gathered in the offices of Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, whose votes are likely to be decisive when it comes to Kavanaugh's future. The moderate senators are two of just a handful of politicians who have not yet announced whether they will be voting for or against his confirmation.

Sarra Khlifi of Anchorage, Alaska, was among the protesters who made the trek to D.C. to lobby Murkowski, her state's senior senator. Khlifi told Alaska Public Media's Liz Ruskin that she took the American Civil Liberties Union up on its offer to fly women to the nation's capital. Several others joined Khlifi on her trip.

"We had this unspoken understanding of, like, 'this week has been terrible,' " she told Ruskin. "So when the opportunity came up to do something about it and come talk to Sen. Murkowski, I didn't hesitate." </s> Actress Piper Perabo says she was among a string of women who got arrested at the raucous first day of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday.

The 'Coyote Ugly' star posted video of herself being escorted out of the hearing room by Capitol Police while the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing was underway.

Another woman held up a 'Be a Hero' shirt, while other women yelled about the hearing and demanded members vote no.

In video she posted, Perabo can be seen being taken out of the hearing room as an officer puts his hand on her arm.

“I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings,” wrote Perabo, also known for “Covert Affairs.”

“Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can’t be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away.”

The protest came just as Democratic senators were staging their own opposition to Kavanaugh. Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal was saying Democrats had been 'denied the documents we need' after the release of 42,000 documents from Kavanaugh's time in the Bush White House just hours before the hearing began.

He said it turned the hearing into a 'charade.'

'This is a mockery and a travesty of justice,' yelled one unidentified protester.

'We need you to be a hero,' yelled another woman.

Peper gets removed before she had the chance to yell something audible. Her exit was followed by that of two other women, according to another video shared by another activist, Fox News reported.

It wasn't immediately clear how Capitol Police processed the protesters. After recent Hart building protests, those booked were quickly processed and required to return to pay a fine.

Perabo appeared in the 200 film 'Coyote Ugly' about a movie about a woman from New Jersey who moves to New York to become a song writer and works in a bar. </s> "Covert Affairs" actress Piper Perabo said she was arrested Tuesday for protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during the first day of his confirmation hearings in Washington.

The 41-year-old posted a video on Twitter of herself being escorted out of the hearing room by Capitol Police, along with several other women who urged senators to "be a hero" and "please vote 'no' " on President Donald Trump's nominee.

"I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings," Perabo tweeted. The actress is very vocal about politics on Twitter and even has a cover image on her profile that is critical of Kavanaugh.

Perabo continued: "Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can’t be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away."

In another tweet, Perabo said she was "proud to stand" with activists from the Women's March and the Center for Popular Democracy Action.

It is not clear if Perabo was charged or detained, as she continued to tweet after the incident. USA TODAY has reached out to the actress' representatives for comment.

Perabo was among dozens of protesters, the majority of them women, who stood and shouted their opposition to Kavanaugh throughout the proceedings. The hearing was so tumultuous at times that John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Senate Republican, labeled it "mob rule" and "unlike anything I’ve seen before in a confirmation hearing."

Many protesters voiced their opposition out of concern Kavanaugh would change the status quo on abortion, health care, gun rights and other issues likely to come before the court in decades to come.

The "Coyote Ugly" star quoted novelist James Baldwin in another tweet: “I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

The 41-year-old Covert Affairs star posted a video on Twitter on Tuesday of her and other far-left activists, including Linda Sarsour, protesting the hearing before being escorted out by police. It is not currently clear whether Perabo was charged with a crime or remanded in custody.

“I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings,” she wrote on Twitter. “Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can’t be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away.”

A separate video shared by Sarsour, a known supporter of Sharia Law, shows the activists entering the room and calling on lawmakers to vote against Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Perabo appears to be removed from the room by police before she gets the opportunity to shout.

Perabo has previously boasted of raising $130,000 in a bid to stop Sen. Susan Collins (R-MA)’s opponent, in an effort to stop the moderate Republican from voting in favor of Kavanaugh.

Perabo was just one of the dozens of protesters causing chaos during Tuesday’s Senate hearing, many of whom claim that Kavanaugh’s confirmation would repeal supposed women’s rights such as abortion. The incidents also forced Kavanaugh’s young children to leave the hearing after being frightened by the protesters.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has since admitted that he and fellow Democrats were involved in coordinating such activity, describing it as the “noise of democracy.”

“This is a different hearing for the Supreme Court than I’ve ever been through,” he explained. “It’s different in what’s happened in this room, just this morning. What we’ve heard is the noise of democracy. This is what happens in a free country, when people can stand up and speak, and not be jailed, imprisoned, tortured, or killed because of it.”

Speaking to a small crowd gathered on Capitol Hill, the group specifically expressed support for Christine Blasey Ford, the California psychology professor who alleged to the same committee on Thursday that she had been sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh in high school, when she was 15 and he was 17.

Religious leaders of all faiths spoke to a crowd about sexual violence, truth and morality. One held a sign that read, “I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.”

“If you are one of those women, we believe you. God loves you and we will stand with you until this injustice is over,” said Amber Neuroth, a pastor from Alexandria, Virginia.

A women's march was also planned to coincide with the expected vote of the Judiciary committee.

As the vote approached, protesters made their way to the Dirksen Senate Office building, where Judiciary Committee senators were scheduled to meet. Protesters shouted words of support to Democratic senators as they made their way inside and urged Republican senators to change their minds.

“You have a daughter! Do the right thing!” one demonstrator shouted at Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. stopped to speak to the protesters.

"I truly appreciate all of you being here,” he said. “It means a lot and inspires us.”
