Pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to enter Rep. Dan Kildee’s (D-MI) office by “violently beating” on the doors during a demonstration in the Cannon House Office Building on Tuesday.

“This afternoon, Congressman Kildee’s Washington, D.C. office had to call U.S. Capitol Police for assistance due to large demonstrations in the Cannon House Office Building,” Mitchell Rivard, Kildee’s chief of staff, said in a statement. “Hundreds of protesters outside the office became disruptive, violently beating on the office doors, shouting loudly, and attempting to force entry into the office.”
