Protesters descended on the Alexandria townhouse of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Friday morning, demanding the Trump administration reunite illegal immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

JewishAction@jewishactionTwo days ago, members of @jewishaction witnessed children as young as 6 or 7 being flown across the country in the middle of the night. Kidnapping is a crime. Secretary Nielsen must resign, right away. #FamiliesBelongTogether #moralemergency #FreeOurFuture
JewishAction@jewishactionNo human being is illegal. Secretary Nielsen doesn’t understand that. She must resign right to. Freedom for families #moralemergency #FreeOurFuture
JewishAction@jewishactionUpdate: Nielsen is hiding in her house and won’t come out to explain her cruel and inhumane actions. Her neighbors are pretty interested, however. Secretary, it doesn’t have to be this way. Resign. #FamiliesBelongTogether #moralemergency #FreeOurFuture
Will Urquhart@UrquwillWe woke up Secretary Nielsen at her home this morning with a protest. Collaborators don’t get to clock out. No justice, no sleep!

#UPDATE: Protesters target Secretary Nielsen’s home over administration’s handling of immigration situation http://www.fox5dc.com/news/protesters-target-secretary-nielsens-home-over-administrations-handling-of-immigration-situation … @barnardfox5dc
Protesters shouted “Shame!” as Nielsen walked from her home to her security detail.
Secret Service officers monitored the nearly hour-long demonstration, according to FOX 5 DC.
The demonstration outside the Secretary’s home comes days after members of the D.C. chapter of the Democrat Socialists of America drove Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant on Tuesday. “No borders! No walls! Sanctuary for all!” the activists shouted as she ate at MXDC.
“Aren’t you a mother too?” The far-left agitators asked Nielsen. “Kirstjen Nielsen, you’re a villain! Lock her up!”
Nielsen eventually vacated the restaurant amid fears the situation would escalate.
She was also targeted by actor Peter Fonda, who shared a violent and sexually degrading fantasy about the Trump Cabinet leader Tuesday night. “Kristjen Nielsen is a lying gash that should be put in a cage and poked at by passersby,” Fonda tweeted. “The gash should be pilloried in Lafayette Square naked and whipped by passersby while being filmed for posterity.”
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at preventing the separation of immigrant children from their border-crossing parents.
Nielsen praised the executive action and called on Congress to find a long-term solution to close the border policy loophole.
“We ask them to do their jobs. The laws need to be changed,” she said.
