Protesters Occupy US Representatives' Office

About two dozen activists visited the offices of Democratic Representatives on December 8 to demand protection for immigrants.

In two Facebook Live updates, protesters representing an organization called Movimiento Cosecha walk through the Longworth House Office Building in Washington. There, they confronted Democratic members of Congress in English and Spanish to push for protection of documented and undocumented immigrants.

At one point in the video, California Rep. Zoe Lofgren updates them on the work her office is attempting to do. The group then visits the office of Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez where they sing and chant. Despite being confronted by police at one point, the event is allowed to continue and no arrests are made. Credit: Facebook/movimientocosecha via Storyful
