In an emotional display of solidarity, more than 140 people gathered in Carpinteria to protest the separation of immigrant families at U.S. borders. The Families Belong Together rally put on by Indivisible Carpinteria joined the events taking place nationwide on Thursday to put pressure on the Trump administration, from Democrats and Republicans alike, for its “zero-tolerance” policy of separating parents and children at the border.
