Immigration Protests Erupt In California, Texas, and Oregon
The protests come just days after President Trump signed a series of executive orders.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in California, Texas, and Oregon on Sunday to voice their opposition to President Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportations.
In what became a show of defiance against the administration’s controversial immigration policies, protesters filled the streets of major cities, with many waving Mexican flags and holding signs condemning Trump’s approach to immigration.
In Los Angeles, protesters took direct action by halting traffic on freeways, while in Salem, Oregon, crowds surrounded local law enforcement in a tense standoff.
Videos and images shared across social media captured the intense scenes, with many in the crowds expressing their strong disapproval of the president’s stance on immigration.
Not everyone, however, was in favor of the protests. Social media platforms saw a surge in criticism, with some questioning the effectiveness and appropriateness of the actions.
The protests come just days after President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at curbing illegal immigration and reducing refugee admissions.
These actions mark a continuation of the administration's hardline stance on immigration, which also includes efforts to end birthright citizenship—an issue at odds with the protections outlined in the 14th Amendment.
