NEW YORK For the second day in a row, protesters came out across the country to rally against President Donald Trump s executive order issued on Friday to block Syrian refugees and travelers from several Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

In New York City, two incredible markers of Americas immigrant roots, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, provided a fitting background for protesters gathered in Manhattans Battery Park. About 10,000 demonstrators were present, some carrying signs reading, Refugees welcome here, and No hate, no fear.

Friends, families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds chanted Let them in! and Si se puede! Speakers fired up the massive crowd with messages of unity and hope, before thousands marched down Greenwich Street toward the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services building.
