Demonstrators of immigrants in the major metropolitan areas of the United States began to appear at the same time, six days before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump.
Politicians, religious leaders, and women and labor groups also joined the protests. Washington, DC, Chicago, California Los Angeles, San Jose, Phoenix, and 50 cities across the country, big and small rallies and demonstrations took place.
The protests in Washington DC began with a rally in the Metropolitan AME church. Max Kim, a 19-year-old immigrant from Korea, said, "Many people are ashamed of their status because of hatred and intolerance of immigrants and refugees, but I am not ashamed of that status. "I am constantly reminding myself that this is happening."
