Part one of a video of @mdc_dsa @DC_IWW and others shouting DHS Secretary Nielsen out of a restaurant. She doesn’t need to be kidnapping #immigrantchildren to deserve this treatment.

Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen was out and about in Washington, D.C.

Tuesday night after a couple of big days fronting the U.S. government’s effort to separate small children from their parents and then detain them. There has been a rising chorus of criticism that has grown into outrage across the political spectrum. Until recently that angry chorus was on the other side of a podium from Nielsen, but on Tuesday night protesters interrupted the DHS Secretary’s dinner out at a, wait for it, Mexican restaurant on 14th St. in D.C.

That was enough heckling to bring Nielsen’s night to an early end.

DHS Secretary Nielsen just got driven out of a Mexican restaurant here on 14th Street by activists. DSA, I believe. pic.twitter.com/lTKutryXBO — Osita Nwanevu (@OsitaNwanevu) June 20, 2018

Despite the outpouring of vitriol, Nielsen’s still got one fan.

Homeland Security @SecNielsen did a fabulous job yesterday at the press conference explaining security at the border and for our country, while at the same time recommending changes to obsolete & nasty laws, which force family separation.
