In a wild scene, federal officers are blocking Democratic members
of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
Members of Congress gathered at the department
headquarters on Friday but were denied entry.
A man can be seen on video asking the crowd,
“What business do you have here?” He was swiftly met by a chorus of “
Who are you?” and “We are members of Congress!”
“I’m here with multiple members of Congress.
We’re here to go to the Department of Education to fight for education,
and they have locked the doors,”
said Congressman Maxwell Frost in a video he posted on X.
“They’re not letting us in; it says
‘All Access Entrance’; there’s a random guy out here who’s refusing to let us in—”
“His name is Jim Hairfield!” said Congresswoman
Maxine Waters as Frost panned the camera to her,
arms clutched to her chest as she braved the chilly D.C. morning.
