Today's action was a matter of FACTS... @SacCountyDA Schubert was being recognized by the Sacramento Women's Attorneys organization and we decided to stage a SILENT protest and hold a banner while she spoke. So intimidated, she had us removed and 2 were arrested for trespassing. pic.twitter.com/cdibmsuzip
