Immigration rallies held around US to support Muslims

NEW YORK—Demonstrations were held in cities around the US this weekend to support Muslim Americans and to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

 

More than a thousand people of various faiths rallied in New York City on Sunday.

 

The "I Am A Muslim Too" event was held in Times Square and was organized by several groups, including the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding.

 

Some protesters waved American flags, while others held signs saying "No Muslim Ban."

 

Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke at the peaceful rally, saying "we have to dispel the stereotypes" and that America is "a country founded to protect all faiths and all beliefs."
