Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan on Tuesday asked the City Council to investigate and consider expelling one of its members over what she claimed may have constituted "disorderly or otherwise contemptuous behavior," including leading large protests to City Hall and to Durkan's own private residence. 

Durkan in the letter requested that the council "exercise its charter duties and fully investigate Council member Kshama Sawant" for, among other things, "using her official position" to "admit hundreds of individuals at night into City Hall when it was closed to the public."

Sawant was observed earlier this month leading a huge crowd into Seattle's City Hall as part of sustained protests in the downtown. The councilwoman told media at the time that she believed it "essential that the power and uprising evident in the streets be seen in the halls of power in Seattle."
