About 170 residents from Brooklyn and Staten Island showed up outside of Congressman Max Rose’s office because Rose voted in favor of funding the camps that are holding migrant children.

Rose put this message on Twitter around noon, two hours before the protest. Rose wrote that he will visit the border and check the facilities first-hand.
Which is why I am planning to visit the border to see these facilities first hand this Summer, am calling for all Congressional recesses to be cancelled until we confront this crisis with the urgency it deserves. 2/

Many of these residents campaigned for Congressman Rose, so they voiced their disagreement with his vote and vowed to bring him a challenger if he didn’t help close the camps. See video

Many mothers in Bay Ridge showed up to the protest because they oppose the harsh treatment of caging migrant children.
Although Rose’s office has only been open a few weeks, there have already been three protests outside.
