Its purpose was to highlight the importance of migrants in the nation and their contribution to society.

This is a frequent error and misconception. The president has repeatedly emphasized he wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-limits-arrest-of-illegal-immigrants-at-courthouses\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Limits Arrest of Illegal ... at Courthouses\">remove illegal immigrants<\/a> from the country, people who are breaking the law by residing in the country. Trump does not intend to remove immigrants who adhered to immigration law and followed the legal procedures to become a naturalized citizen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;Day Without Immigrants&rdquo; campaign comes after large protests were held in various cities nationwide on Sunday. In Los Angeles, thousands gathered to protest the Trump administration&rsquo;s illegal immigration enforcement operations and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Agitators in the Southern California city violated the law by marching on the U.S. 101 Freeway in the afternoon, vandalizing highway walls, and having minor clashes with police in the evening. No arrests were reported. According to reports, another wave of protests hit the city on Monday night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has made illegal immigration enforcement a significant part of his presidential platform. So far, over 8,000 illegal immigrants have reportedly been arrested by ICE. These efforts will continue into the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1973045\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1973045\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses nationwide closed for a &#8216;day without immigrants&#8217; protest against Trump&#8217;s immigration policies.
