The House Ethics Committee will not investigate or seek to punish the lawmakers arrested outside the Supreme Court last week during protests against the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

The panel dismissed any further action on the matter of the 17 members of Congress being arrested on charges of crowding, obstructing, or incommoding during the protest, according to a report released Friday.
