People gathered Monday in Los Angeles for a second consecutive day in protest of US President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Waving Mexican and El Salvadoran flags, they carried banners that said "Immigration Built This Nation," "No I.C.E.," "Abolish I.C.E." and "I did not serve this country for you to belittle my people.”
From his first day in office on Jan. 20, Trump signed executive orders aimed at expelling large numbers of immigrants, including measures to end birthright citizenship. In the weeks that followed, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intensified its daily raids.
The raids have created an atmosphere of fear, with authorities reportedly targeting immigrants in everyday settings.
The Laken Riley Act, a recent legislative victory for Trump, allows law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants who commit or are believed to have committed certain crimes in the US.
Trump also ordered the preparation of a facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba to hold up to 30,000 migrants. (Anadolu Agency, but headline rejigged)
