Homeland Security Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan was unable to deliver his remarks at an immigration policy conference Monday, as protesters heckled him on the Trump administration's immigration policies.
McAleenan was speaking at an annual immigration law and policy conference hosted by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) and Georgetown Law.
Before McAleenan began his remarks, protesters stood up and yelled, "When immigrants come under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!"
McAleenan attempted three times to start his speech, but was interrupted by the protesters on every occasion.
"Ok, last time, team," McAleenan said as he attempted to start his speech a third time.
"Lot to cover today, there's some very serious issues that we can talk about today in candor, or we can continue to shout."
McAleenan then said he'd "like to take the dialogue above the politics and the daily news cycle" and discuss "some of the fundamental issues we face with the current legal framework and its ability to address large scale immigration flows."

But protesters again started their chants and McAleenan walked out.
According to the program organizers, the protesters were with CREDO Action, the advocacy arm of CREDO, a progressive grassroots organization.

This group seems to be flying under the radar:
CREDO Action organizes for progressive change. We mobilize millions of activists to speak out and pressure decision-makers from the local to the national levels. From relentlessly defending reproductive freedom, civil rights, LGBTQ equality and our environment to fixing our broken democracy and fighting for an economy that works for everyone, CREDO empowers activists to work for the change we want to see, not what we are told we can achieve by the mainstream political establishment.
Over the course of our history, CREDO has donated more than $88 million to Democracy Now!, Brennan Center for Justice, Doctors Without Borders, ACLU, EFF, Planned Parenthood, Color Of Change, 350.org and hundreds of other fierce and effective nonprofit groups.
CREDO Action is a progressive nonprofit organization founded in 1985 by Laura Scher and Michael Kieschnick and led by Michael Kieschnick. The organization is an activist mobile phone, long distance calling and credit card company. In 2012, CREDO Action launched the CREDO SuperPAC.[1]
CREDO Mobile uses revenue from their mobile services and credit cards to fund nonprofit political organizations. Some of the political organizations funded, according to CREDO’s website, are Drug Policy Alliance and Project Vote.
FREE SPEECH for THEE, but NOT for ME....TYRANTS
This school is no longer catholic...hence is clueless about free speech and law...useless law school and president
And where was security and what were they doing? (rhetorical question)
I thought the liberal supremacists were supportive of other liberal supremacists!
In Hong Kong the people are fighting for Democracy; in Argentina they are fighting against Socialism and for Democracy. credo fights for nothing except to disrupt.
Pretty sure Kevin is ANTI-TRUMP!!
