Tsarnaev was hiding inside a boat covered in a tarp parked to the side of a house in Watertown.
The FBI then updated the wanted poster for Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, another suspect in the bombing, was killed early Friday morning from a gunshot wound inflicted during a shootout with police officers.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said the federal government could invoke the "public safety" exception to the Miranda rights usually read to suspects.
Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. John McCain released a statement saying they believed the government should go further and treat Tsarnaev as a "potential enemy combatant."
After being taken into custody, Tsarnaev was taken to the Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, the same hospital where victims of the attack were being treated, according to NBC.

MSNBC and CNN report that it's possible charges could be brought against Tsarnaev as early as today.
The Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to BuzzFeed when asked whether and when Tsarnaev would be brought before a judge for an initial court appearance.
The official also provided no information about the current health status of Tsarnaev, who was hospitalized Friday night following his capture and was reported Saturday morning to be in serious condition. That could impact the timing of both questioning and when he will appear before a judge.
