ALEXANDRIA, VA—Protesters were outside Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's home in Old Town Alexandria Friday morning to criticize the Trump administration's immigration policy.

The protest lasted about an hour, Fox5DC reported. Protesters had signs reading "child snatcher," played audio of children separated from their families and yelled chants calling for Nielsen's resignation. Democrats in Congress, including Alexandria's representative Don Beyer, have called for Nielsen to resign. U.S. Secret Service officers and additional law enforcement officers were on scene. Nielsen had also faced protesters on Tuesday night while having dinner at MXDC Cocina Mexicana in DC.

Tensions are high over the Trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy. Uncertainty about immigrant families remains after President Trump's executive order separating families at the border. FOX5DC has the full story on the latest protest.

On Tuesday, Nielsen was eating dinner at the Mexican restaurant when demonstrators marched into the business and heckled the secretary. Among the chants the protesters shouted: "If kids don't eat in peace, you don't eat in peace;" "Shame! Shame! Shame!"; and "Not in D.C., not in the U.S." Tensions are high over the Trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy, in which kids were separated from their parents following unlawful border crossings. Nielsen is tasked with carrying out President Donald Trump's plan to reduce immigration.
