    Socialist activist who harassed Kirstjen Nielsen at Mexican restaurant works at Justi

    Socialist activist who harassed Kirstjen Nielsen at Mexican restaurant works at Justice Department

    By Victor Morton - The Washington Times - Wednesday, June 20, 2018

    One of the shouting socialists who chased Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen out of a D.C. Mexican restaurant Tuesday night is a Justice Department worker.

    Democratic Socialists of America member Allison Hrabar reveled in her actions Wednesday to the Washington Examiner, saying it “feels really good to confront people who are actually responsible” for arresting any illegal immigrants. One of the chants on the video says Immigrations and Customer Enforcement should be abolished.

    According to the Examiner, Ms. Hrabar is a paralegal specialist at the Justice Department.

    Ms. Hrabar said her actions were off-the-clock and not official, and that she was merely engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.

    She also called on other D.C. residents to make the city, which is chock-full of bureaucrats who can be presumed to participate in some or other Trump administration policy, a perpetual demonstration zone.

    “If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace,” she said. “We aren’t the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and ICE at dinner can confront them like this, and that’s what we hope this will inspire people to do.”

    According to the Daily Caller, Ms. Hrabar is a graduate of Swarthmore College who has worked at Justice since July 2016.

    A Justice Department official declined to comment to the Daily Caller about Ms. Hrabar, saying she cannot comment on personnel issues.

    Who are the protesters who crashed Kirstjen Nielsen's dinner and what are they planning next?

    Activists who protested Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she dined at a Mexican restaurant Tuesday say others involved in enforcing tough immigration policies should take notice, though dinner disruptions won't necessarily be a recurring form of activism.

    The unconventional demonstration inside downtown D.C.’s MXDC Cocina Mexicana featured about 10 minutes of chants — including “Kirstjen Nielsen, you’re a villain, locking up immigrant children” — after a tip from a fellow restaurant diner.

    In less than 45 minutes, activists from the local chapter of Democratic Socialists of America assembled a dozen people to protest Nielsen, blasting out social media invites and emails to DSA and Industrial Workers of the World members.

    Two DSA members who participated told the Washington Examiner that restaurant protests aren’t a specific strategy, and that the group is instead focused on monthly protests at the D.C.-area homes of deportation "profiteers."

    The group already has protested two private prison officials and one administration official, and a July 1 protest in Virginia will target another person who has not been publicly identified. One member referred to the person as a “Trump official,” but the other declined to confirm this.

    DSA member Allison Hrabar, one of those who protested Nielsen on Tuesday, said that after intense coverage of suspected illegal immigrants being separated from their children, “it feels really good to confront people who are actually responsible, which is what we have a unique opportunity to do in D.C.”

    Hrabar works at the Justice Department as a paralegal specialist, and said her activism was not part of her official work. She said she was exercising her First Amendment rights off the clock.

    “If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace,” she said. “We aren’t the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and ICE at dinner can confront them like this, and that’s what we hope this will inspire people to do.”

    The Trump administration's new zero tolerance policy means prosecution of adults accused of illegally entering the U.S., resulting in separation of children from their parents. The new strategy is widely seen as a gambit to force legislative action, though after intense criticism President Trump said Wednesday he will sign an executive order ending family separations, despite previously saying a court ruling required it.

    Hrabar said she would be willing to attend another restaurant protest, but that she hopes DSA’s example will inspire others, and said there are signs that's happening.

    “A lot of people have been reaching out, either asking how we recognized her, or sending us places that they heard other people like to go. Downtown D.C. is crawling with bureaucrats,” Hrabar said. “I’m sure this will continue to happen in Metro Center, if I happen to be nearby. But these people don’t just live in D.C.”

    “When you confront [people with financial] capital — and a lot of people who live in D.C. work for powerful people — it can be kind of scary, but we think it’s important to put ourselves on the line,” Hrabar said.
    Although D.C. has been flush with protest activity since Trump's election, targeting individuals is less common. In one example last year, marijuana activists rolled a joint in Jeff Sessions’ Senate office to protest the attorney general nominee’s stance on drug policy.

    Code Pink, an anti-war group that visited officials’ homes during past administrations, had activists dressed as KKK members protest Sessions at his confirmation hearing, before appearing in large numbers at CIA Director Gina Haspel’s hearing this year. “Bloody Gina!” shouted one heckler. Another, 78-year-old CIA veteran Ray McGovern, was charged with resisting arrest after he was tackled.

    But restaurant protests could instill new social anxieties for Washington’s officials and lobbyists.

    Margaret McLaughlin, another activist who protested Nielsen, said that “as long as the Trump administration is going to separate families at the border and bust unions and put more and more people at danger — all kinds of people — we are going to continue to fight.”

    “The people that are responsible for these policies should not be able to live in peace,” McLaughlin said.

    But McLaughlin isn’t committing to more restaurant protests, and said the socialist group sets its own priorities and won’t act on unsolicited tips from the public.

    “We’re not really at the general public’s beck and call,” she said. “We do what we want as an organization, and we have democratically chosen priorities that we work on together. So a member of the public seeing an official on the street and contacting us, we’re not going to do anything.”

    McLaughlin said that “we are, with most of our work, focused on the revolving door of people who have worked at DHS and other government agencies and have taken that and cashed in and are making six figures — 300, 400, 500 thousand a year — to lobby their former peers to build out the private prison system. This isn’t just an immigration issue. This is an issue for any person who has a family member or friend locked up.”

    McLaughlin said the message she hopes the Nielsen protest will send is "stop ripping apart families."

    "I’m not trying to threaten anyone, I just want families to be together and not be imprisoned and in jail [after] escaping terrors happening in their countries because of our foreign policy," she said.

    DOJ employee among those heckling DHS boss Nielsen, report says

    One of the socialist protesters who accosted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Tuesday at a Mexican restaurant has been exposed as a Department of Justice employee.

    Allison Hrabar, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who attended the protest against Nielsen over the controversial border law enforcement, was revealed to be a paralegal specialist at the DOJ, the Washington Examiner reported.

    “It feels really good to confront people who are actually responsible, which is what we have a unique opportunity to do in D.C.,” the DOJ worker told the outlet.

    Nielsen had to face an angry group of socialist protesters who repeatedly shouted “Shame!” as she attended a work dinner at a swanky Mexican restaurant in the nation's capital.

    “If kids don’t eat in peace, you don’t eat in peace,” another protester was heard yelling at the protest.

    “How can you enjoy a Mexican dinner as you’re deporting and imprisoning tens of thousands of people that come here seeking asylum in the United States?” another one shouted.

    “If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace.”

    Hrabar wasn’t bothered by her association with the DOJ, citing her protected First Amendment rights to protest anyone outside her work hours. She went on to encourage people to confront officials in public places.

    “If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace,” she said. “We aren’t the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and ICE at dinner can confront them like this, and that’s what we hope this will inspire people to do.”

    But according to the Daily Caller, Hrabar has made a habit of using social media to send political messages during her work hours, including celebrating the protest.

    “Keeping families together in jail is not an acceptable solution,” she wrote on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

    In another tweet, she reportedly wrote: “No one who has ever made their living terrorizing immigrants deserves peace. If you see one in a restaurant, at a movie, or in your neighborhood, remind them of that.”
    Her Twitter account has since been locked and made private.

    I suspect she will shortly find herself unemployed.
