ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Hundreds of New Mexicans gathered in front of the courthouses in downtown Albuquerque on Sunday to protest the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Community organizers say they would like for more people to join the protests, which they hope will bring changes in New Mexico and the country.
“The more people that see us out here, the more people we can get out here, get these politics into their head, get this idea of we are actually on the same team against the billionaires,” said Shannon McKenna, one protester.
Protesters marched from the courthouses down Lomas through downtown, ending at Civic Center Plaza.
