Rallies Near Dallas: Nationwide Protests Planned For June 30

DALLAS, TX — The topic conversation of conversation headlines, social media posts and talk shows the last two weeks has been the controversial practice of separating immigrant parents from their children by U.S. border patrol and law enforcement. This latest issue with the Trump administration has fueled a movement that is organizing protests all over the country June 30, including ones in Dallas, Denton, Granbury and Sherman.

Local "Families Belong Together" protests will occur at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 30, and Dallas' version of the protest will be held at Dallas City Hall.

Denton's protest will be held at Denton County Courthouse on The Square, while another in Granbury will be held at the Hood County Courthouse.

The Sherman protest will be held at 10:00 a.m. on the Grayson County Courthouse lawn.

The overall message from the cause is outlined in the organization's event description, saying, "Donald Trump and his administration are cruelly separating children from their families. But we won't allow it to continue. On June 30, we're rallying in Washington, D.C., and around the country to tell Donald Trump and his administration to stop separating kids from their parents!"

The protest aims at bringing attention to the Trump administration "systematically criminalizing immigration and immigrants, from revoking Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to ramping up intimidating ICE tactics."
