New Yorkers concerned that the election of Donald Trump could mean a loss of rights for immigrants and other vulnerable groups marched through midtown Manhattan on Saturday (9 November).
Marchers carried banners reading “Reject Fascism” and stating their opposition to President-elect Trump’s stated plans to deport illegal immigrants en masse as a small number of pro-Trump counter-protesters gathered along the protest route.
Trump campaigned to return to the White House vowing a vast immigration crackdown, including a promise to deport record numbers of immigrants in an operation Trump’s running mate JD Vance estimated could remove 1 million people per year.
Trump will take office on 20 January after defeating current Vice President Kamala Harris in the 5 November presidential election.
