At the end of Thursday night's Democratic debate, as former Vice President Joe Biden prepared to answer a question about resilience, he was interrupted by several protesters, with at least one managing to make it onto the stage.

Their shouts were hard to distinguish, but photos show that some were wearing shirts that said "Defend DACA, Abolish ICE, Citizenship for All." The protester that was photographed on stage appeared to be just a few feet away from the candidates.
