On Friday, Democratic lawmakers protested outside the Department of Education against proposed bureaucratic changes by President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. Lawmakers demanded entry but were denied by a security guard who claimed he was just doing his job. Lawmakers, including Reps. Maxine Waters and Maxwell Frost argued that this denial illustrated a lack of transparency from the Trump administration. The situation escalated as they challenged the guard's authority and questioned the rationale behind preventing them access to a federal building.
WATERS: Let the cameras see him! Let the cameras see him come in I want you to see this man here are you a federal employee? GUARD: Yes.
Are you making this decision to stand in front of the store on your own behalf, on behalf of the Department of Education, or were you told to come out here and block members of Congress, Frost asked the stone-faced security guard.
