The rally began with drums and a reminder that the story of most Americans began somewhere else.
A representative of the Piscataway Indian Nation addressed a crowd of thousands assembled in Lafayette Square on Saturday in Spanish, then English. Sebastian Medina-Tayac burned tobacco, a Native American prayer tradition, said a prayer and then sang an indigenous-language song from Bolivia that means, take courage.
We dont believe in borders. We dont believe in walls, Medina-Tayac said.
The rally ended with a march past the White House and the Trump International Hotel and on to the Department of Justice, where protesters affixed signs to the building gates:
We are better than this, one said.
Las familias merecen estar unidos, said another, which translates to Families deserve to be united.
Starting around 9 a.m., thousands had made their way to Lafayette Square, with many more filling in along 16th Street and into Farragut Square, areas that had been blocked off in anticipation of 50,000 protesters arrival in the District.
The crowd seemed somewhat shy of that, although organizers said aerial photographs indicated it was still in the tens of thousands.
About 750 similar Families Belong Together rallies were planned throughout the country in every state from big cities such as Boston, Chicago and New York to tiny ones such as Antler, N.D., which has a population of 27.
The message: End President Trumps zero tolerance immigration policy, which has split children from their parents and detained families crossing the southern U.S. border.

Hilarious. Spanish is an “indigenous” language?
Don’t tell the Aztecs. They’re still bitter about La Malinche.
Any heat strokes?

Millions support enforcement.
We do not wish to be overrun by fraudulently documented foreigners.
We dont believe in borders. We dont believe in walls, Medina-Tayac said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most people who break into other countries think that.
These “no-border” lunatics should be shown what a border is...and thrown across it.
I want to see a picture from the sky.
Here is the Tea Party Rally's:
It looks to me like the supporters of liberty outnumber the supporters of lawbreaking.
And why does article title call it “Trump’s” Immigration Policy ? Its the same policy that Obummer and Clinton used.
It was hot out there. I would’ve told them to bring some ICE, but I’m afraid the irony would’ve been too much.
Maybe the protesters can take an Illegal family or 2 in their homes
Any aftermath pictures, bet the sanitation dept. is still cleaning up.
These unaccompanied 700,000 children that obozo enticed here need to be reunited with their parents in Mexico!!! Now!!
Did they lock the door to their home when they came to protest? Did they lock the doors on the Prius? Yeah, I thought so.
I guess they dont live in houses with walls and doors. Or use locks of any kind.
Doesn’t matter how big or small the groups of protesters were the MSM will make it hundreds of millions ,LOL
Was that today? Some folks I know were in DC today, and there were no signs of protests at the tourist attractions. hmm.
Oh, a side show. Did they charge for admission to gawk at the freaks?
