Lawyers, teachers and politicians were among thousands of demonstrators across the U.S. protesting policies on immigration, the targeting of lawyers and judges and the role of wealthy decision-makers.
Jennifer Vasquez Sura, whose husband Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a U.S. resident the administration sent by mistake to a prison in El Salvador, spoke at a Washington rally that was among planned protests across the U.S. organized by lawyers' groups and by a coalition of more than 200 labor unions and immigrant rights advocates.
"He was illegally detained, abducted and disappeared by the Trump administration, though they admitted it was an error," Vasquez Sura said, adding her husband has endured "50 days of suffering."
"For everyone watching, keep fighting," she said. The crowd responded with chants of: "Bring Kilmar home."
Organizers have accused the Trump administration of prioritizing profits for billionaires and called on it to invest in working families by fully funding healthcare, housing and public schools.
"It's a clear split screen between the priorities of the Trump administration and what regular people want and need," said Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, a consumer rights advocacy group and a co-organizer of the Washington rally.
Previous protests have garnered thousands of attendees since Trump returned to office.
