WASHINGTON—Congressional Democrats tried to gain entry to the Treasury Building, saying they wanted to provide oversight after the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gained access to the Treasury’s federal payments system.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and other top Democrats spoke at a rally after the would-be oversight squad, led by Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.), attempted to gain access to the building’s grounds at a gate. The Secret Service rebuffed them.
