No. Under law, he can only be "arrested" if he has committed treason, a felony, or a breach of the peace. For any other crime, he can only be arrested when he returns home from a session. As long as he stays in the Congressional chambers, he cannot be removed. Once Congress adjourns, he can be arrested and prosecuted on any charge.
