Protests in DC, New York, and other cities across the US have continued into today in response to Donald Trump’s extreme orders targeting immigrant families and Muslim refugees.
As immigration attorney David Leopold wrote earlier today, Trump’s plan is effectively “a blueprint to implement his campaign promises of mass deportation, and it puts in place the Deportation Force to carry out his plan.”
Immigrants, refugees, and allies took to the streets following the public release of the orders, including one group that marched directly to the White House. More #NoBanNoWall photos are here.

Hundreds more also met Trump earlier today in Philadelphia, where he spoke to Congressional Republicans at a retreat. See more photos from #ResistanceInPhilly here.
