BOULDER, Colo. — A group against the Trump administration’s policy on immigrant families is planning to protest Friday.

The online group Families Belong Together plan several rallies across the Denver metro area, but the largest, the group said, will be held in Boulder at the intersection of Broadway and Canyon.

According to a Facebook post, the group demands “a permanent moratorium on family separation, reunification of all separated families, parole for all families pending adjudication of their asylum claims, and asylum process in compliance with international law.”

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that ended the controversial practice of separating immigrant families at the US-Mexico border. However, there were few signs of any relief for parents separated from their children and placed in detention centers for illegally entering the country over the past several weeks.
