I joined the group from National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and the Transgender Law Center in front of the White House to rally in support of health care for Trans Americans that is under attack by the current administration. After about 20 min rallying outside of the fence, Secret Service pushed us out into Lafayette Square where we continued our rally. I can only hope we irritated the chief resident sufficiently that he asked the SS to move us away.

The Secret Service often moves protest groups away from the White House fence. Actually, though, the National Park Service is responsible for monitoring protests on the Presidents Park grounds, which is the a large area around the White House itself (i.e., including the WH grounds), the Ellipse, Lafayette Park, and more. As for who made the decision or whether there was anything behind it other than routine, who knows?

Turns out someone lit themselves on fire as a protest on the Ellipse (the other side of the White House) during our rally.
