WASHINGTON, June 30 -- From coast to coast, in the rain or under the burning sun, tens of thousands of Americans marched and rallied across the country to protest the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy resulting in over 2,000 children separated from their families who crossed the border illegally.
Organizers said about 630 Families Belong Together events had been planned across the whole country with Washington D.C. as the main protest venue, calling the rallies a forum for people to stand up to the president's controversial immigration policies.
"(The) family separation crisis is not over. We have a situation where the Trump administration seems to be aiming to detain families," said Karthik Ganapathy, a MoveOn.org spokesman.
It's very hot in downtown Washington D.C., but that hasn't stopped thousands of protesters pouring into Lafayette Square facing the northern side of the White House.
They chanted "We care," "keep families together" and other slogans slamming U.S. President Donald Trump's tough immigration policy.
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren joined a rally in Boston. "Mothers have told me that at night, they believe they can still hear their children cry. This is not about politics. This is about human beings," she said.
In the state of New Jersey, several hundred people gathered along a road a few miles away Trump's National Gold Course, where the president and his family are spending the weekend.
