Police in New York City have arrested 25 people in the Trump Tower protesting US President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration and border policies.
The protesters sat in the lobby of the president’s signature property on Thursday and chanted “no ban, no raids, no wall.” Some wore T-shirts with the same slogans.
The demonstrators were arrested and carried to police vans after they refused to leave the building, police said.
“No wall,” is in reference to Trump’s proposal to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico and “No raids,” refers to US arrests of suspected undocumented immigrants. “No ban” refers to Trump’s blocked executive orders seeking to restrict immigration from several Muslim-majority countries.
