Companies are in protest against Trump’s immigration policy | Donald Trump News

Several companies from nurseries to grocery stores and salons closed throughout the United States throughout the United States on a day of protest against President Donald Trump’s immigration policy.

People gathered in Los Angeles another day in a row on Monday. Waved Mexican and El Salvadoran flags, they waved banners who said “immigration built this nation”, “no ice”, “abolition ice” and “I didn’t serve this country for you to break down my people”.

From his first day of Embed on January 20, Trump signed executive orders aimed at exhibiting a large number of immigrants, including measures to end Birth Right Citizenship.

In the weeks followed, American immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) intensified its daily attacks.

But participation in “day without immigrants” faced headwinds from employees and business owners who said they needed income – especially when rumors of widespread attacks, often false, leave many migrant communities afraid to venture outside and even affect some schools .

Monday’s event also came on the heels of street protests on Sunday in California and elsewhere.

Noel Xavier, who organizes the director of North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpents, said that while it is important to remind the country of the value that wandering workers bring to the communities in which they slit, many workers could not afford to take a day off .

“If I don’t go to work today, it’s a day less that I have, you know to be able to pay for my next rent,” Xavier said of the prevailing mood among the workers he organizes. “I didn’t see this great collection about being able to do it, or have the luxury of being able to do so.”

Andrea Toro decided to close his hairdressing salon in Chicagos Pilsen. She added that many of her clients are teachers and have seen children missed school since Trump joined last month because they fear it may not be safe to go.

“If we do not have immigrants, we have no work here,” said Toro, who is from Puerto Rico. “If we are mute, we are in silence, then they must do what they want.”
