Thousands of people all over the country plan on protesting the separation of immigrant parents from their children by U.S. border authorities on June 30 in hopes of sending one message to the Trump Administration, “Families Belong Together.” Ian Cull reports.
Thousands of people all over the country plan on protesting the separation of immigrant parents from their children by U.S. border authorities on June 30 in hopes of sending one message to the Trump Administration, "Families Belong Together."
This comes after the president’s “zero tolerance” policy separated more than 2,300 children from their families at the U.S. - Mexico border in recent weeks.
Though the biggest rally is planned to be held in Washington D.C., more than 20 rallies are planned all over the Bay Area.
