The Boston Globe reportsthat thousands of people joined a march and rally in downtown Dallas to call for an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system and an end to what organizers say is an aggressive deportation policy.
Organizers, who called Sunday’s event the “Dallas Mega March,” said President Trump’s executive orders restricting travel from predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East are discriminatory.
The marchers demanded an end to hate crimes and hate speech, which they contend have risen since the November presidential election.
The march began at the Dallas Catholic cathedral and ended about 1½ miles away with a rally at City Hall, where speakers included Martin Luther King III, son of the slain civil rights leader.
