Hundreds of women plan to join an act of civil disobedience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to protest the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

The protest is organized by the Women's March, which did not specify what it was planning to do that would risk arrest for protesters.

The Women's March first announced the planned "mass civil disobedience" last week. It held training meetings for those planning to participate on Wednesday.

TOMORROW: #WomenDisobey because @ICEgov has got to go, because migration is not a crime, and because we won’t sit back while this administration puts people behind bars for seeking refuge and a better life. #AbolishICE #EndFamilyDetention https://t.co/5EQ5CUIr2u — Women's March (@womensmarch) June 28, 2018

Organizer Linda Sarsour told The Hill last week that the group was holding the protest even after President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

"The Women's March and our allies are advocating against child camps but we're not advocating for family camps," Sarsour said.

"We don't trust this administration to follow through. We're also demanding answers for the hundreds of children who have already been separated from their families with no clarification about what that reunification plan looks like. This administration has not told us how they plan to reunite children who have already been separated from their families," she added.
