The protests came after the Senate passed a $95 billion emergency foreign aid package to Israel, Gaza and Ukraine.
Organized by pro-Palestinian groups, the protest was described as a "seder on the street" for the second night of the week-long Jewish Passover.
Photos from the protest showed large groups of demonstrators gathering in front of Schumer's Brooklyn, New York home.
The protesters urged Schumer to support an end to the U.S. providing weapons to Israel for its ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Following speeches from pro-Palestinian leaders, several people were arrested by New York Police Department (NYPD) officers.
The NYPD did not immediately respond to Fox News' request on how many protesters were arrested.
