Hundreds of people gathered at LaGuardia airport in New York City late Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s practice of separating migrant families, and to welcome any separated children who might arrive.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) posted photos and videos of demonstrators in the terminal holding up signs both expressing support for immigrants and condemning the Trump administration’s policies.
We will not stand by as the Trump administration attacks children and criminalizes immigrants. We are here to say #FamiliesBelongTogether," the ACLU tweeted, along with a photo of protesters at the airport.
