Protesters Blast Audio of Crying Immigrant Kids at DHS Sec Kirstjen Nielsen's Home

First, they drove her out of a Mexican restaurant, now people are protesting against Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at her Virginia home by blasting out audio of crying immigrant children on her street. HuffPost editor Philip Lewis tweeted video from the scene, saying: “Protestors are outside of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s Alexandria townhouse, playing audio of the detained children. She appears to be still be home.” Nielsen has been the brunt of criticism for defending the Trump administration’s forced-separation policy, which provoked fury and international condemnation this week. Lewis reports the crowd was chanting “No justice, no sleep!” and “Free the kids!” and photos showed demonstrators holding signs branding Nielsen a “child snatcher.” Nielsen was driven out of a Mexican restaurant Wednesday in Washington, D.C. by protesters.

However, I feel for the neighbors who also have to hear it. Maybe the neighbors will start treating her as a pariah.

this should not be swept under the rug. I think she deserves to hear those cries from traumatized children. Stephen Miller needs to hear it too, after all he orchestrated this whole thing along with Steve Bannon.

keep up the pressure and maybe she’ll resign who knows; It doesnt seem she is used to this kind of treatment.
