Several activists were arrested after chaining themselves to the White House fence Wednesday afternoon, demanding that President Biden declare a 'climate emergency' over shifting global temperatures. 

Photos and video posted to social media show Secret Service officers responding to the area where at least five climate activists, including scientist Rose Abramoff, had chained themselves to the fence, drawing a crowd. 

The agents pushed the crowds back as they cleared the White House grounds and Lafayette Park. 

Agents cut the chains some of the activists used to secure themselves to the fences and hauled them off to jail.
