'Do You Hear the Babies Crying?': DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Shouted Down in Mexican Restaurant

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen tried to have dinner in a Washington, D.C. Mexican restaurant Tuesday night. It didn't go well for her.
Several people recognized the anti-immigrant Cabinet official and began filming. Quickly their numbers grew and in the middle of the restaurant they started shouting at her, asking how dare she appear in public when "over 10,000" migrant children whose parents have been arrested and detained are currently being housed by the federal government in internment camps.

"How can you enjoy a Mexican dinner as you're deporting tens of thousands of people seeking asylum in the United States?"

Actions - consequences. Everyone of the people involved in this need to be reminded that they will never be accepted by civilised society again.....

She had a craving for Mexican Food? Really? Or was she just being malicious and rubbing it in our face that she can do this because she is on Trump's team?

Nazis did this all the time in occupied Counties just to prove they could do anything they wanted to.

To rile people up from their abusing these children and trying to normalize it. People that abuse children with intent to hurt them permanently have no place in OUR government. These people are so arrogant they think they can get away with this. The American people are uniting together to make sure they pay dearly for doing this to children.
