The four fence jumpers will be charged with Entering a Restricted Area.
Videos and photos posted to social media around the same time showed a number of people climbing over a fence; it is not clear at this time if these are the people being charged.
The four were taken to the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center and will be seen before a judge on Wednesday.
