Police were forced to remove multiple individuals from a town hall event hosted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia on Tuesday night, with two of the protesters being tased during the incident. Authorities arrested three individuals, according to local reports.

The event, held in Greene’s congressional district, was disrupted shortly after it began. Reporters at the scene, including CBS News’ Jared Eggleston, shared video of officers confronting at least six protesters, as Fox News reported.

One video captured an officer shouting, “Put your hands behind your back!” before a loud bang and the sound of a taser was heard. A second taser deployment was heard moments later.

In footage posted to X, one protester shouted “Free Garcia,” referring to Kilmar Ábrego García. García has been a focus of controversy after a federal judge ruled that he was wrongly deported during the Trump administration as part of a group of Venezuelan gang members.

Another video showed a protester yelling, “Free Kilmar!” multiple times as officers removed them from the event.

Rep. Greene addressed the interruptions during the town hall, engaging with the individuals as they were being escorted out.

“The protest is outside. Thank you very much,” Greene said during one of the confrontations.

“If you were to sit and listen, you’re welcome to listen. Everyone across the aisle – Democrats, Independents.”

Following the event, Greene remarked, “I’m glad they got thrown out. That’s exactly what I wanted to see happen… This isn’t a political rally or a protest. I held a town hall tonight. You know who was out of line? The protesters.”

The disturbance at Greene’s town hall follows a broader trend of increasing tensions at GOP-led in-person town halls. In response to safety concerns, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has advised lawmakers to temporarily avoid holding such events.

Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., who chairs the NRCC, encouraged members to switch to virtual events.

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., followed that recommendation after a confrontation at one of her events, during which a protester physically engaged with her staff. Police were required to intervene in that case as well.

Despite the guidance, Greene went ahead with her in-person event during the legislative recess. According to NBC News, she was one of only a few Republican lawmakers to do so.
