Nationwide Protests Erupt Against Trump’s Immigration Crackdown. Thousands of workers, students and activists took to the streets across the United States to protest the immigration policies of Donald Trump. Demonstrations marked the first anniversary of Trump’s second term, with anger fuelled by recent enforcement actions linked to federal immigration raids. Protesters gathered in Washington, DC, and cities including Asheville, North Carolina, chanting slogans condemning racism, fascism and immigration enforcement. University students in Cleveland staged campus marches, while high school students in Santa Fe walked out of classes to attend an anti-ICE rally at the state capitol. Demonstrators criticised the tactics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, following incidents that sparked national outrage and public scrutiny. The Trump administration maintains it has a voter mandate to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, despite polls showing broad opposition to aggressive enforcement methods . Labour unions, student groups and grassroots organisations joined forces with left-leaning movements such as Indivisible and 50501 to organise the protests. Campaigners also highlighted conditions in immigration detention centres, including a facility in El Paso where multiple detainee deaths were reported in recent weeks. The wave of demonstrations was set to continue westward, with further protests planned in cities such as San Francisco and Seattle.
