(NewsNation) — Democratic members of Congress were denied entry into the Department of Education on Friday morning (2/7/25).
Doors to the building were locked, and Congress members could be seen having tense interactions with a security guard.
“They are blocking members of Congress from entering the Department of Education! Elon is allowed in and not the people? ILLEGAL,” Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., said in a social media post. In another post, he said armed federal officers were called to the scene.
“We aren’t dangerous,” Frost said. “We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime.”
Interesting. PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - On Monday, (February 3, 2025) the U.S. Department of Education announced it was investigating cases of antisemitism at Portland State University, as well as four other universities.
The investigation is a reaction to President Trump’s executive order, signed last week, designed to combat antisemitism.
“The U.S. Department of Education today announced investigations into five institutions of higher education where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported,” the department stated in a release. “The investigations are in response to the explosion of antisemitism on American campuses following the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023.”
A new source of doing this research includes other departments. "The Department of Education looks forward to working with the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services as a part of today’s announced task force to combat antisemitism.
