Nov 08, 2024 LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 30: People demonstrate and call out words of encouragement to detainees held inside the Metropolitan Detention Center after marching to decry Trump administration immigration and refugee policies on June 30, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

The rally is one of more than 700 such protests being held throughout the nation. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
