SPEAKING FOR MIGRANTS: Demonstrators take part in New York

"Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here," they chanted, also declaring a welcome for Muslims.

Thousands of demonstrators, baking in the heat and boiling mad against US immigration policy, marched across the country on Saturday to protest the separation of families under President Donald Trump's hardline policy.
Dubbed Families Belong Together, the demonstration in Washington began at Lafayette Square where crowds gathered directly across from the White House before a planned march towards the Capitol.
In New York, families, young people, children and the elderly - both recent arrivals and long-time citizens - all stood under a burning sun as part of a protest which a police officer said already numbered "a couple of thousand".
"Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here," they chanted, also declaring a welcome for Muslims.
