United States Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao came face to face with a small group of protesters harassing her husband Mitch McConnell in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

Chao was caught on video calling out immigration protesters while she and the Senate Republican leader departed an event at Georgetown University.

She was heard yelling out, while pointing a finger at the group: 'Why don't you leave my husband alone?,' repeating, 'why don't you leave my husband alone?'

One male protester was initially heard asking the Kentucky politician: 'Why are you separating families?'

The group was then seen inching closer to the pair, when Chao fearlessly got in their face.

The protesters continued to repeat the question, and Chao replied: 'He is not... you leave him alone.'

United States Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao came face to face with a small group of protesters harassing her husband in Washington, D.C. on Monday

Chao was heard yelling out to the group: 'Why don't you leave my husband alone?'

Protesters were heard asking the Kentucky politician: 'Why are you separating families?'

Shortly after the altercation, Connell and Chao departed the scene in a black SUV.

Connell was not heard speaking in the video.

The verbal attack came a day before the Senate Republican leader said the Trump administration 'finally got it right.'

He was speaking of the Supreme Court decision to uphold the travel ban on citizens from certain majority-Muslim countries.  

The Supreme Court weighed in on the third version of the ban.

'There were several earlier iterations of the so-called travel ban. I think the administration finally got it right,' Connell said.

'The Supreme Court agreed with that, and I think this is a decision the president should feel good about and I'm comfortable with. 

'I didn't care for the earlier versions,' McConnell added.

Trump on Monday expressed frustration at U.S. immigration laws and reiterated that people should be turned away at the border. 

Democrats have accused him of wanting to circumvent the U.S. constitution's guarantee of due process for those accused of crimes.

'We want a system where, when people come in illegally, they have to go out. And a nice simple system that works,' Trump said.

Lawmakers Maxine Waters told a crowd in her home state of California on Sunday that a Virginia restaurant's refusal to serve White House press secretary Sarah Sanders should be a model for resisting Trump

The immigration crisis has triggered new political tension, and Trump lashed out at a Democratic congresswoman who had urged Americans to confront members of his inner circle in public places.

The lawmaker, Maxine Waters, told a crowd in her home state of California on Sunday that a Virginia restaurant's refusal to serve White House press secretary Sarah Sanders should be a model for resisting Trump.

'If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,' Waters said.

'And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. We've got to get the children connected to their parents.'

Trump fired back on Monday, calling Waters 'an extraordinarily low IQ person.'
