donald trump: Abel Uribe / AP By Ben Nuckols The Associated Press Sat., Jan. 14, 2017 WASHINGTON Protesters gathered Saturday to support immigrant rights at rallies around the U.S., denouncing President-elect Donald Trump for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and his pledges to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and to crack down on Muslims entering the country, according to Toronto Star. We are not going to allow Donald Trump to bury the Statue of Liberty, Sen. Immigrant rights advocates planned demonstrations across the U.S. in what they're calling a first salvo against President-elect Donald Trump's pledged hard line on immigration. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, told a standing-room-only crowd at historic African-American church in downtown Washington during one of dozens of rallies around the nation. In Chicago, more than 1,000 people poured into a teachers' union hall to support immigrant rights and implore one another to fight for those rights against what they fear will be a hostile Trump administration. We are a nation for all people, regardless of religion, regardless of background, regardless of who you love. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
