Dem Women Pramila Jayapal, Tammy Duckworth & Kirstin Gillibrand Join Capitol Protest On Family Separation
/
About 2000 women came together in Washington DC on Thursday to protest the Trump administration's current zero-tolerance immigration policy, one that separates families and has three-year-old toddlers in immigration court, facing a judge alone and without legal counsel.
The Thursday protesters marched from the Dept of Justice to the Hart Senate building, where they joined arms, sat down and chanted in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience. In response, about 600 women including Washington state Rep. Pramila Jayapal were arrested, writes ELLE.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill) rolled into the middle of the protest with her daughter in two, and always impeccably groomed New York Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand hit the pavement, joining arms with the protesters.
