Message of togetherness
Chicoans rally against separating children from parents at U.S. border
In at least the fourth local protest against Trump’s immigration policy, more than 100 people took to the Chico streets Saturday (June 30) for a Families Belong Together rally that coincided with others across the nation. Adults and children alike held signs and chanted “love and respect” in response to a Trump administration policy that has separated over 2,000 children from their parents at the U.S. border, many of them seeking asylum. That policy has created division among some Trump supporters, prompting even evangelist preacher Franklin Graham—who recently appeared in Chico to rally conservative voters—to speak out against the policy.
