PROTESTERS in at least 30 towns and cities across the US turned out on June 1 to decry President Donald Trump’s policy of literally tearing babies and children from their parents at the US border.
The demonstrations were called by a coalition of organisations including the National Domestic Workers Alliance, We Belong Together and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
