DOJ reviewing conduct of paralegal who chased Kirstjen Nielsen from restaurant
Washington Examiner ^ | June 21, 2018

The Justice Department is reviewing the conduct of an employee who helped chase Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen from a Mexican restaurant on Tuesday, but First Amendment scholars say that she may be immune from workplace consequences.

Allison Hrabar, a Justice Department paralegal specialist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, helped organize a dozen-person DSA-led contingent that chanted “shame” at Nielsen until she left MXDC Cocina Mexicana.

Hrabar came under intense scrutiny following the downtown D.C. protest, and political opponents demanded that she be fired for protesting Nielsen's role in separating suspected illegal immigrants from their children — a policy President Trump partially reversed Wednesday.

To say nothing of disturbing the peace. People can be arrested for causing a ruckus.

Make her count paper clips in the offices of the DOJ.

I think DOJ "moves you to HR" for some important work. See: Strzok, Peter.

Kicked them out tout de suite before it progressed. If you can’t allow your customers to eat in peace, you deserve to go out of business.

This is harassment of a citizen, and an example should be made of the DOJ lawyer.

Another example of the extreme left believing their distorted political biases dovetail perfectly with their professional responsibilities. She can chase a woman out of a restaurant because she disagrees politically.

Say hello to Peter Strozk.

States vary in how they define criminal harassment. Generally, criminal harassment entails intentionally targeting someone else with behavior that is meant to alarm, annoy, torment or terrorize them. ... Harassment charges can range from misdemeanor to high level felony charges.

They’re “reviewing” it. OK; I see where this is going.

Her conduct was criminal.

Quite agree. It will be telling how the DOJ resolves this event. In either event, it should give one side or the other pause for concern.

University of Chicago law professor Geoffrey Stone said,
If she was participating in behavior that constituted a breach of the pea...that would be unlawful, but so far as I’m aware there was nothing like that here.

Your lack of awareness sounds a bit self-serving, professor.

Consider this: Hrabar organized and orchestrated a group of several individuals that specifically drew the public's attention to the Secretary all while in a public setting that was reasonably intended to provide a quiet, semi-private environment and then proceeded via loud and repetitive verbal abuse to attempt to humiliate the Secretary.

Thereafter, Hrabar announced her mission:
If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace,…

The restaurant is MXDC Cocina Mexicana. Ironically, it is owned by Todd English, a guy from Boston who isn't Mexican, but apparently decided to do some cultural appropriation. I'm surprised the leftists aren't protesting Todd English running a Mexican restaurant.

Here is the link to the restaurant's web site

Todd English's Mexican Restaurant

Here is a list of other restaurants run by Todd

Apparently Todd doesn't bother to ensure the safety and comfort of his customers - unless perhaps they are leftists.

When I heard about this the other day, I thought an FOI request of email communications to see if she used government resources for this garbage...

You're right, and I knew that about Radcliffe and Wellesley, but interchanged them mistakenly. Nonetheless, I stand entirely by the point of my post. They're all overrated, and that Hillary didn't pass the DC bar, although there are literally a ton of attorneys who did pass the bar in DC who didn't go to Yale law, makes my point. There are smart people everywhere, and smarmy self-promoting but marginally talented people everywhere as well.

It seems like Secretary Nielsen’s employer should be providing more security, since we don’t want high level government employees at risk of assault from mobs. Maybe a plain clothes detachment of federal security officers need to go along and sit at a nearby table to prevent that kind of behavior in close proximity to the Secretary.
