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.
Hrabar told the Washignton Examiner that as of about noon Thursday, she had not been disciplined. Asked if she still had a job, Hrabar said in a text message: Yes! Currently at a team lunch."

Magoo, and his elf army, knows that we’re in a fight with communists who want our borders erased, they simply don’t care.
That review could have been completed by noon the following day. I believe threatening/intimidating a federal official is a crime.
Mind saying where you are eating lunch? Some agitator groups were just curious, thats all.
Groucho Marx great granddaughter?
Sessions is busy napping to worry about this hair ball .
I don’t think this rises to the level that Sessions has to be involved.
Some low level slub can, and will, fire her.
What is the phone # at her place of employment?
free speech or not- there are laws against public disturbances
Free speech is not anytime, anywhere. And this incident was not about free speech, but about harassing an individual in a restaurant open to the public, on her personal time.
And I still wonder if the restaurant owners/managers ever did anything at all to stop the harassment? Have seen no report on that aspect.
My suggestion would be to the Dept Secretary to get a restraining order filed against her that requires her to keep a certain distance away.
I would then suggest that her supervisors then review the time line contained within her past time slips and pay records to see if she had any Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat postings while her time slip indicated she was working.
Then fire her if she has done wrong.
The manager must be smoking too much reefer. Taking sides with people who are attacking any customer is business insanity.
Had I been there and been treated the same disturbing way Ms. Nielson was treated, I would have reacted to self protect myself from assault. I can assure you the ending would not be nice for the protesters. This Democrat low life scum & vermin is pushing their luck.
If I were them..I would go back and smoke some reefer with the manager. America is living in sad days
Ya know...though some of the blame falls on, We, the American people. We still have the power of our votes. Come November....we should join together and vote to destroy the entire current Democrat Party. If that happens our problem is solved in one day. Let’s begin a campaign across the nation to totally politically destroy all Democrats by voting all of them out of office!!!
One can dream, can dream, can’t they?

This Ethics Handbook for On and Off-Duty Conduct summarizes the principal ethics laws and regulations governing the conduct of Department of Justice employees. The purpose of this handbook is to increase your awareness of the ethics rules and their applications, including when you are not in a duty status or are on leave. We have included citations after each rule and we suggest that you consult the full text of the law or regulation when you have specific questions.
The ethics rules condensed here include the conflict of interest statutes found at 18 USC §§ 202 to 209, Executive Order 12674 on Principles of Ethical Conduct as amended by EO 12731, the Uniform Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch at 5 CFR Part 2635, Department of Justice regulations at 5 CFR Part 3801 that supplement the uniform standards, and additional Department regulations at 28 CFR Part 45, and Executive branch-wide standards of conduct at 5 USC § 735.
The Designated Agency Ethics Official (DAEO) for the Department is the Assistant Attorney General for Administration. The Departmental Ethics Office is responsible for the overall direction for the ethics program in the Department. Each Bureau, Office, Board and Division has a Deputy DAEO who should be your first contact for advice. Your component may have additional guidance that addresses specific circumstances, in particular with off-duty conduct and employees serving in foreign countries. Employees are responsible for knowing and adhering to any component specific guidance.
The ethics statutes and regulations may be found on the website of the Departmental Ethics Office. If you do not have access to the internet, contact your Deputy DAEO to obtain a paper copy of the regulations. If you do not know who your ethics official is, call the Departmental Ethics Office on (202) 514- 8196 or consult the website for a list of ethics officials within the Department.
Some of these rules require analysis when applying them to specific situations. You should use this handbook as a means of keeping yourself apprised of the general prohibitions, but you should always seek advice from an ethics official if you are contemplating an action that you think might be covered by the rules, especially where it may be necessary to obtain a waiver or approval in advance.
Generally, an employee who provides all the facts to an ethics official and follows the advice given will not later be disciplined for violating the standards of conduct if subsequent inquiry reveals a possible violation consistent with the facts provided. Heads of components in consultation with the appropriate Deputy DAEO grant most formal determinations on ethics questions, including waivers and approvals.
We hope you will find this handbook useful
