IMMIGRATION/PROTESTS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Thousands gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s now-reversed policy of separating migrant families at the U.S. border. Organizers of the Families Belong Together march called for a large gathering in Washington, D.C., and expected further protests in hundreds of cities. Tweets highlighted gatherings in Sacramento, Calif., Carlsbad, N.M., Boston, New York and other cities large and small. Protesters were demanding the reunification of families seeking asylum that were separated at the U.S. border during the short-lived policy. In Chicago, a large crowd gathered in Daley Plaza downtown with signs saying, ‘Keep families together,’ ‘No child should be kept in a cage’ and ‘Immigrants make America great.’ Some took aim at the Trump family, with one reading, ‘Separate Trump from Ivanka instead.’ Other demonstrators danced with young children as musicians played drums and horns in the 93-degree heat.”
