星期天,数以千计的人在白宫附近举行示威,抗议美国总统川普禁止来自七个穆斯林国家的移民进入美国的行政令。抗议活动遍布美国各地,今天进入了第二天。

示威者高喊“不要仇恨,不要恐惧,这里欢迎难民。” 抗议者针对的是川普签署的冻结所有难民进入美国至少120天的行政令。该行政令还在90天内禁止来自伊朗、利比亚、索马里、伊拉克、苏丹和也门的签证持有者入境,无限期禁止叙利亚人入境。

纽约炮台公园也发生了抗议活动。从炮台公园可以俯瞰美国象征性灯塔—自由女神像。140多年来,自由女神像迎接了无数来自世界各地的移民。洛杉矶、费城、休斯敦、波士顿、路易斯维尔和底特律也出现了抗议活动。

在纽约炮台公园的示威中,美国参议院民主党领袖舒默说,他要求新的国土安全部长凯利采取行动。

Thousands of demonstrators gathered Sunday near the White House in Washington, launching a second day of protests in cities across the United States against President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven Muslim countries.

Chanting "No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here," protesters took aim at Trump's executive order, which blocks the arrival of all refugees to the United States for at least 120 days. It also bars visa holders from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days and bans Syrian nationals indefinitely.

Protests also were under way in New York's Battery Park, which overlooks the Statue of Liberty -- America's iconic beacon that has inspired and welcomed immigrants from across the globe for more than 140 years. Protests also were held in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, Louisville and Detroit.

At the Battery Park protest, U.S. Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he urged new Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to take action in the dispute.
