Immigrant workers plan strike

The 'Day Without Immigrants' protest is a response to President Trump's immigration policies.


Immigrants in D.C. and across the country plan to participate in the “Day Without Immigrants” boycott on Feb. 16. The protest is a response to President Trump’s pledges to crack down on those in the country illegally, use “extreme vetting” and build a wall along the Mexican border.
