Washington, United States. Thousands of people have begun to meet in different cities in the United States to protest the separation of families on the border and to end President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy.
The organizers of the demonstration in Washington estimate that their demonstration will gather nearly 50,000 people in the Lafayette square, in front of the White House and the surrounding streets.
However, other nationally representative cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Dallas will join the nearly 750 planned protests in the country, according to reports in the Washington Post.
Some markets are even considered in foreign cities like Munich, Germany, or San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Hundreds of protests mark the biggest day of protests after several weeks of outrage at policies that have separated more than 2,300 migrant children from their parents since the federal government began prosecuting all those who cross the border illegally.
The protests will be held despite the fact that Trump issued an executive order on June 20 to ban the separation of children from their parents after being stopped at the border, however, the vast majority of children who have been separated have not been separated. not yet reunited with their families.
A federal judge ordered the federal government this week to reunite children within 30 days or within two weeks for children under five.
Judge Dana Sabraw of the Federal Court in San Diego, California, also issued a national ordinance prohibiting future separations of migrant families, unless the father considers himself unfit or refuses to be with his son.
The magistrate also ordered that the government provide telephone contacts between the parents and their children within 10 days.
Event organizers Saturday warned that they would continue to work until their demands were met. The ultimate goal is to change the way migrant families are treated in the years to come.
