Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Homeland Security, received a mid- dinner protest at a Mexican restaurant in Washigton. "If children don't eat in peace, you don't eat peace," activists shouted at the New York Times.

Nielsen is responsible for implementing the Zero Tolerance immigration policy for those who attempt to enter the United States illegally. This has caused that more than 2,300 children of migrants have been separated from their parents and remain in detention centers. The images of children sleeping on the floor and the leaked audio of many of them crying, pleading to see a member of their family, has caused outrage internationally.

"Excuse me … Shame !, Shame !, Shame!", Echoed the people who carried out the protest, where they demanded of Nielsen the separation of so many families. Especially when the images released in the media show how children are suffering with this federal policy.

One of the activists protested to him how it was possible that of all the places it was to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Nielsen was in Chef Todd English's luxurious Mexican Cuisine. The Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America group won the protest, the New York Times reported.

The AFP note published by the Nuevo Herald states that the members who made the complaint questioned his actions. But, she did not flinch or react. "How can you enjoy a Mexican dinner when you are deporting, imprisoning, tens of thousands of people who came seeking asylum in the United States?" Said one protester.
