The protests were organized by various groups, including MoveOn, United We Dream, American Friends Service Committee, and Families Belong Together. Two of the events were in San Diego County, one at the Otay Mesa Detention Center and the other at Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter\u2019s office in El Cajon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MoveOn claimed that the current situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is \u201can intentional strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities and criminalize immigration\u2014from imprisoning children in inhumane conditions to threatening widespread raids to break up families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The movement seeks to reunite all families with zero cost to them, taking advantage of the Fourth of July week to confront candidates who are home for the holiday. Their three demands are to \u201cclose the camps,\u201d reject any &#8220;dollar for family detention and deportation,\u201d and \u201creunite families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protests were planned after a congressional delegation\u2019s visit to the facilities. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed that some migrants being held had to drink from a toilet bowl, even though U.S. Border Patrol Chief of Operations Brian Hastings has denied it. Ocasio-Cortez also told CNN that she \u201cwas not safe from the officer,\u201d and screamed at Border Patrol agents for trying to pose for selfies with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protests are likely to continue in the coming months, with the border crisis becoming an increasingly salient issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/backbone_campaign\/48309396521\/in\/photolist-2gHvsGq-2gHwbBo-2gHvrfH-2gAWS4U-2gAWhvF-2gAWguh-2gxswxH-2gxsTMH-2gxsw8Q-2gxsw6a-2gxsw39-2gxsvZ3-2gxsTqA-2gxsvMV-2gxsvBV-2gxsT5W-2gxsT3S-2gxsvvY-2gxsSUk-2gxsvqh-2gxsvkY-2gxsSGm-DBNYdf-2gAWhnu-2gAWRDF-2gxsveL-2gxsSus-2gxsv33-2gxsuZY-2gxsSjT-2gxsuUN-2gxsuT5-2gxsuPY-2gxsuDC-2gxsuBD-2gxsuys-2gxsuwU-2gxsRTh-2gxsury-2gxsRQ6-2gxsumy-2gxsRJp-2gxsuih-2gxsuha-2gxsRFD-2gxsRF8-2gpXcPw-2gpfZcg-2gihM6g\/\">Photo by Backbone Campaign via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 155 protests recently took place around the U.S. as part of the nationwide #ClosetheCamps movement.
