Crowds of protesters also gathered in Los Angeles to denounce the Trump administration’s larger immigration crackdown.  In response, Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard members to the city on Sunday, followed by 2,000 more Guard troops and 700 Marines on Monday.

Immigrant rights advocates in San Francisco, California, gathered in front of City Hall to denounce United States President Donald Trump’s new travel ban, targeting citizens from dozens of countries, mainly in Africa and the Middle East.  Protesters called the ban illegal and discriminatory.

Trump’s new ban forbids entry into the US to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.

The measure also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela who are outside the US and don’t hold a valid visa. Elected San Francisco officials promised to fight back and to protect demonstrators.
