NEW YORK (AP) - The Latest on nationwide protests over Trump[1] immigration policy (all times local):
9:40 a.m.
Thousands of people opposed to President Donald Trump[2]’s controversial policy of separating migrant families are descending on Boston for two planned protests.
Saturday’s “Rally against Family Separation” begins with a morning march from City Hall to Boston Common, where a large rally will take place. The protest is timed with other protests nationwide and is also meant to oppose Trump[3]’s ban on travelers from certain Muslim-majority nations.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Congressman Joe Kennedy III, both Democrats, will be among the attendees.
The second demonstration starts Saturday afternoon with a march from Wellington Common Park to the South Bay House of Correction, a county jail in Boston which houses undocumented immigrants apprehended by federal officials.
Organizers are demanding local government agencies stop cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

Liberal activists, parents and first-time protesters motivated by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border plan to rally in hundreds of cities nationwide to press President Donald Trump[4]’s administration to reunite the families quickly.More than 600 marches on Saturday could draw hundreds of thousands of people across the country, from immigrant-friendly cities like Los Angeles and New York City to conservative Appalachia and Wyoming under the banner Families Belong Together.Though many who show up will be seasoned anti-Trump[5] demonstrators, others will be new to immigration activism, including parents who say they feel compelled to show up after heart-wrenching accounts of children forcibly taken from their families as they crossed the border illegally.In Portland, Oregon, for example, several stay-at-home moms have organized their first rally while caring for young kids.Copyright © 2018 The Washington Times, LLC. ...
