    The protesters entered MXDC Cocina Mexicana Tuesday and chanted “Shame!” and “End family separation!”

    In a video posted on Facebook by Metro D.C. Democratic Socialists of America, the protesters yelled, “if kids don’t eat in peace, you don’t eat in peace.”

    Nielsen paid her bill and left after about 10 or 15 minutes.

    A department spokesman tweeted that during a work dinner, the secretary and her staff heard from a small group of protesters who “share her concern with our current immigration laws.”

    A further coarsening of the public debate. It has been a long-standing Washington tradition that political people are not pursued in their private life. You may not like how a Supreme Court justice rules, but you cannot say anything about it to him at the grocery store.

    I understand Kiesrjen Nielson’s position, she has to follow her boss’s demands,
    My question is, how can Mr Trump as such a kind gold hearted gentleman do such a cruel thing, he in fact is a grandson of an immigrant, so is his beloved lady, yes they’re both LEGAL,
    But, why does an orphan of 18 months old amongst others have to suffer only because of their parent’s stupidity?
    It’s beyond believe

    The courts DO NOT ALLOW for those arrested and detained to keep their children with them!

    It is the parents coming here illegally that create the problem! The Democrats under Obama did the same thing when they arrested illegal immigrants. Now that the government is arresting more illegal immigrants and holding them until their trial, their children have to be held somewhere as well.

    Last night on national TV the priest who delivered the xtian brucha at Trumpf’s inauguration denounced the policy of separating children from their parents as being ‘un-xtian’ and immoral. Maybe he was saying that policy was actually alt-yiddisha considering how many frumsters support the horrid policy.

    #2 Nobody “has to follow” orders. I am shocked I have to mention this to you. If you follow illegal or immoral orders you are a criminal. This is fairly basic.
