signs reading: They carried signs reading, No more children in cages, and What's next Concentration camps In major cities and tiny towns, hundreds of thousands of marchers gathered Saturday across the United States and Canada, moved by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, in the latest act of mass resistance against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, according to Toronto Star. Many parents say they feel compelled to show up to protests against U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policy after heart-wrenching accounts of children forcibly taken from their families as they crossed the border illegally.

They gathered on the front lawn of a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, near a detention centre where migrant children were being held in cages, and on a street corner near Trump's golf resort at Bedminster, N.J., where the president is spending the weekend.
