U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions mounted a brisk defense of President Donald Trump's immigration policies in Houston on Friday — slamming sanctuary cities and saluting the administration's efforts to crack down on crimes committed by those in the country illegally.

Before his speech in front of law enforcement officers and federal prosecutors, Sessions had breakfast — huevos rancheros at a Mexican restaurant.

In fact, Sessions and his entourage ate at two Mexican restaurants while he was in town to support tougher immigration laws.

The irony wasn't lost on critics of Sessions and the owner of El Tiempo Cantina, who shut down the longtime restaurant's social media accounts after posting photos of Sessions posing with owner Roland Laurenzo's son before dinner Friday night.

"We had the honor to serve Mr. Jeff Sessions, Attorney General of the United States," the restaurant posted on its Twitter account — an account that has since been shut down, along with its Facebook and Instagram accounts, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Sessions had breakfast at La Mexicana, which apparently didn't feature his visit on social media but did not totally escape the criticism.

"Shame on you La Mexicana, you too El Tiempo," Mark Norris posted on Facebook.

"I thought the neighborhood felt incredibly 'safe' yesterday morning," Lanny Griffith, a former Houston radio personality, wrote on Facebook. "BTW their huevos rancheros are THE best."

Others pointed out the irony of the conservative Sessions dining at a restaurant in Houston's Montrose neighborhood, which boasts a large LGBTQ population.

"On today's episode of the Twilight Zone! Guess he wasn't briefed on the very colorful history of Montrose, oh the irony!" Cesar Robles said in a post on Facebook.

Most of the invective against El Tiempo Cantina disappeared when the restaurant's accounts were closed, but some individual posts shamed the restaurant.

"When you're job is to serve, keeping it professional at all times is perfectly fine @ElTiempoCantina. But boasting & saying it was an honor to serve someone who has a hand in the horror that is hurting ppl & our nation is just plain irresponsible & disheartening," Tamara Villanueva posted on Twitter.

Laurenzo came to the defense of his restaurant, claiming he and his staff thought Sessions should be treated professionally just like any other customer, but that they do not support his immigration beliefs.

"El Tiempo does not in anyway support the practice of separating children from parents or any other practices of the government relative to immigration," the restaurant said in a statement posted to culturemap.com. "The posting of a photograph of the Attorney General at one of our restaurants does not represent us supporting his positions."

Laurenzo also had harsh words for some of the restaurant's critics.

"People are insulting us in such a dramatic fashion, and we feel like we don't deserve it," he said in an interview with Houston television station KTRK. "At least temporarily I had it taken down because I don't want to be insulted, my children to be insulted, my family to be insulted."
