Nearly 100 people turned out in support of an organized nation-wide rally to protest current U.S. Immigration policy.

Citizens gathered at the Washington County Courthouse to protest the separation of immigrant families at the border.

Many who gathered held up signs in support of immigration demonstrators.

Margarette Boswell, one of the local organizers, says this is just one of 650 rallies going on across the country.

Several guest speakers addressed the dozens who gathered with emotional speeches.

Reverend George Nelson inspired the crowd with an emotional speech.

Boswell and other organizers say they felt a point still had to be made, even after President Donald Trump’s recent executive order.

According to Boswell, the rally didn’t’ protest the current administration, although there might be members that say otherwise...

A handful of supporters of the President’s policy gathered across the street and peacefully voiced their opposition to the protesters’ views.
