George Clooney has been released from police custody, but the #FreeClooney hashtag is still going strong on Twitter.

Clooney was arrested Friday outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., along with several Democratic members of Congress including Reps. James McGovern (Mass.), Jim Moran (Va.), John Olver (Mass.) and Al Green (Texas).

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who met with Clooney earlier in the week to talk about Sudan, joked in a tweet about the incident following reports of the arrest.
