A child marching at the Atlanta "Not My President's Day" demonstration told MSNBC's Mariana Atencio that he was protesting because "I hate Trump" and that he "deported my father and my uncle because they were illegal immigrants."



The boy said his parents, his father having been deported, also hate Trump.



"We've been walking with these marchers for a while now. We were surprised to see some of the littlest ones are leading this rally. People like Jose right over here. Jose, tell me, why were you leading the march just now?" Atencio asked the boy.



"Because I hate Trump. And so do my parents and other friends. And he deported my father and my uncle because they were illegal immigrants," Jose said.



"Thank you so much, Jose," Atencio told the boy.



"So, the immigration issue very near and dear to many of the marchers' hearts here, Katy," Atencio said.



MSNBC's Katy Tur, anchoring from New York, asked Atencio to repeat the story that his father and uncle were deported by President Trump.



"Mariana, did that young boy just say Donald Trump deported his family, did I hear that correctly?" an incredulous Tur asked.



"I'm sorry, Katy, I wasn't able to hear your question," Atencio said.



"Did that young boy say Donald Trump deported members of his family?" Tur repeated.



"The young boy, Jose, he said that Donald Trump deported his uncle and his father," Atencio reported. "And they are still deported. So he is living with relatives at the moment."
