The rally began with drums and a reminder that the story of most Americans began somewhere else.
A representative of the Piscataway Indian Nation addressed a crowd of thousands assembled in Lafayette Square on Saturday in Spanish, then English. Sebastian Medina-Tayac burned tobacco, a Native American prayer tradition, said a prayer and then sang an indigenous-language song from Bolivia that means, “take courage.”
“We don’t believe in borders. We don’t believe in walls,” Medina-Tayac said.
The rally ended with a march past the White House and the Trump International Hotel and on to the Department of Justice, where protesters affixed signs to the building gates:
“We are better than this,” one said.
“Las familias merecen estar unidos,” said another, which translates to “Families deserve to be united.”
Starting around 9 a.m., thousands had made their way to Lafayette Square, with many more filling in along 16th Street and into Farragut Square, areas that had been blocked off in anticipation of 50,000 protesters’ arrival in the District.
The crowd seemed somewhat shy of that, although organizers said aerial photographs indicated it was still in the tens of thousands.
About 750 similar “Families Belong Together” rallies were planned throughout the country in every state — from big cities such as Boston, Chicago and New York to tiny ones such as Antler, N.D., which has a population of 27.
The message: End President Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which has split children from their parents and detained families crossing the southern U.S. border.

[[And why does article title call it “Trump’s” Immigration Policy ? Its the same policy that Obummer and Clinton used.]]
Because that is the “New Truth” as dictated by the left- Just like the bible states, in the end times, people wil l exchange the truth for lies-
Liberals are dictating the narrative- Their narrative is that republicans are monsters that traumatize kids- and that is the “New Truth” that is being foisted on the world
Then remove the front door from your house, and I'll believe you are serious.
I won't agree with you (nor copy you), but I'll believe you are serious - and not just blowing smoke.
These people like Medina-Tayac just don't believe that the United States should exist as a Nation.
Right; and criminals believe in confiscating guns from the law abiding to make their job of hurting or stealing from you much easier.
This leftist brain addled ideology really must be cured somehow even if that means an ice pick into their brains to perform a lobotomy. Whatever it takes because these people are crazy. Crazy people can be dangerous to themselves and others so they need to be treated ASAP.
I about the millions of people who DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THIS RENT A MOB CIRCUS.
I stand with the majority - million and millions of citizens who want our borders CLOSED. Millions of citizens who know the ‘great concern’ for the children is a plan to open the borders and flood the country with third world losers.
The Washington Post doesn’t care about the millions - they care about the people making the most noise... the mob.
What? No ordinance against that? Oh, there is?
Heads must roll!!!
Whenever they only show closeups of the crowd you know they’re lying about the total numbers!
Stupid tools...
I could've made a LOT of money -- and a LOT of headlines -- by having a sign that said "ICE" and a hat and T-shirt.
...and then SOLD ice to them! (Those few who dared approach.)
Lucky for the other liberals, being near all those obese womyns, the rank smell of lesbian sweat, and having to step over the bloated carcasses.
Maybe if they had borders and walls, they would’ve stood a chance against the settlers.
Well I don't believe in "native" Americans. No human was indigenous to this hemisphere. ALL have ancestors who came from somewhere else.
Re: “The rally began with drums and a reminder that the story of most Americans began somewhere else.”
That “reminder” applies almost everywhere.
Except for sub-Saharan Africa, every country in the world is a “Nation of Immigrants.”
““We don’t believe in borders. We don’t believe in walls,” Medina-Tayac said. “
Look where it got you.
“You better put some ICE on that”
You always hear Leftists say “We’re better than this’’ but they never say how.
Hmm...
The Piscataway were not Hispanic; they certainly had nothing to do with Bolivian Indians. Moreover, what happened to them could be taken as an object lesson in the folly of allowing unlimited immigration.

The demonstration was a flop, but WaPo just had to write about it. Yawn.

This is what 109 years of Dem rule will do to a town.
Useful idiots.
Trump’s policy is simply to enforce the law.
Something these people never saw before.
