A demonstration against a Trump administration policy that is separating immigrant children from their parents at the border is planned Friday in Boulder.

The online group Families Belong Together Boulder Protest stated in a Facebook post that the demonstration is scheduled at 4 p.m. at the intersection of Broadway and Canyon Boulevard.

The protest calls for “an immediate halt to the illegal (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) practice of separating children from parents who are legally applying for asylum at the US border.”

The Trump administration has implemented a “zero tolerance” for illegal border crossings, resulting in the separation of at least 2,000 children from their parents. Since 2014, hundreds of thousands of children and families have fled to the United States because of rampant violence and gang activity in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
