Members of the House of Representatives are not used to being told no.
But that is exactly what happened when 30 House Democrats tried to enter the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C.
According to Fox News, the contingent was there to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise L. Carter. Instead, they were stopped by security.
A federal employee, who stopped them at the door, did not say why they were not allowed in the building.
The man was confronted by Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) who asked if he was doing so of his own volition or had been ordered to block the door.

The group said it had the right to enter the building and criticized the Trump administration for its “lack of transparency.”
