AN FRANCISCO — Chanting “Stop taking the children,” immigrants, activists and tech workers on Tuesday protested the Trump Administration’s hard-line immigration policies that are separating children from their parents at the Southwest border and causing outrage and debate on Capitol Hill and around the world.
“I can’t stand to hear one of those children cry and we’re hearing thousands of them,” said Judith Gips, 61, who teaches immigrant children in King City. “We’re going to take these children’s cries to get together and make ourselves heard. We have to take risks ourselves to help people who have risked everything to bring a little bit of decency to this country.”
The rally in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in downtown San Francisco drew several hundred protesters, blocking off a stretch of Sansome Street. It came as the Trump Administration doubled down this week on its “zero-tolerance” policy for illegal border crossers, arresting parents and taking more than 2,300 children to shelters over a recent six-week stretch. The sounds of crying children at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility begging for their parents picked up on a secretly-recorded audio tape were posted this week by ProPublica, creating a larger and more impassioned backlash to the policy.

I agree. Stop taking children.

Stop them at the border, and don’t let them in without a visa or proof of U.S. Citizenship.
LOL, it’s always the same old weirdos
Guess they didn’t get the message. Sad people. It’s over
Why don’t you stop aborting children first.
Funded by Soros and Co. who also provided the buses.
We need somebody like Breitbart who actually goes to these loons and asks them why they are there and who sent them. Half or more of them would say they had no clue.
How are they allowed to protest? According to the Rolling Turd, democracy died. Why arent the nazis giving them wood shampoos? I guess the antifa procoms were busy.
It’s always the same old gray-haired white women liberals who like to show their moral superiority.
It’s nothing new. You saw these people at the Bush inaugurations, protesting the Contract w/America in the 90s, and the anti-War protests.
Did her teeth pop out ?
Lord help us, these people are ignorant.
Similar to Pelosi’s supporters. Nut jobs on parade.
I totally agree. Stop taking the children. Turn them and everyone else back at the border.
The worst part of all the news this week is complaint about care but NOTHING about sending them home. Seems all discussion is predicated on them staying in the US even though they are not our citizens, they are here illegally, and their parents are absent or here illegally.
Good catch lol
Oh brother. Kids do cry. They even cry when leftists rip signs from their hands at conservative rallies, with their fathers holding them in their arms. I never saw so much fake concern “for the children”.
Sanctuary city rent a mob.
