Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of the United States today to protest Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Protests took place in big cities and small towns across all 50 states.

More than 750 “Families Belong Together” marches were held with sister demonstrations in London, Munich, Paris, Hamburg, Tokyo, and others cities around the globe.

Trump took time from his busy day of playing golf at his resort in New Jersey to tweet an attack on what he called the “radical left.”

Here are some of the sites from around the country.
