An immigration protest group calling themselves the "Cosecha Movement" have unfurled a large banner near the Sumner Tunnel that reads, "Un Dia Sin Inmigrantes," meaning "A Day Without Immigrants."

Members of the movement told Fox25 that they are protesting President Donald Trump's immigration policy.

"We are live from East Boston reminding the immigrant community that this country depends on our labour power to be able to function," a post on the group's Facebook page reads.

Less than a week after taking office, President Trump has signed executive orders to strip federal funding for sanctuary cities, and ordered the construction of a massive wall on the Mexican border.

The group first unfurled the banner in the Sumner Tunnel bridge, attempting to hang it over so passing drivers could see it. Authorities said the group was not allowed to hang the banner but they could unfurl it while standing on the bridge.

The Cosecha movement members are now parading their 40-foot banner on the streets of Boston. According to WHDH.com, the group will be moving their demonstration to Maverick Square.

According to a post on the group's Facebook page, today's demonstration is part of a week-long protest called, "A week without immigrants." The purpose of the protest is to demonstrate America's dependence on foreign labor.
