Numerous businesses across the country closed on Monday to stage a protest against the illegal immigration enforcement policies of President Donald Trump. 

Organizers of the “Day Without Immigrants” protest encouraged supporters to go on a one-day strike and not go to school, work, or shopping, according to multiple reports. Its purpose was to highlight the importance of migrants in the nation and their contribution to society. News of the “Day Without Immigrants” nationwide demonstration was reportedly spread mainly through social media campaigns.
