Nationwide May Day Protests Rally Against Trump's Immigration Policies

May Day protests erupted in cities across the United States as thousands rallied against President Donald Trump's immigration and labor policies, highlighting concerns over the administration's alignment with corporate interests. Demonstrators in Iowa City, Green Bay, New Orleans, and Chicago voiced support for immigrant and worker rights, condemning policies they say threaten unions, target immigrants, and erode protections for federal workers. Organizers and participants emphasized the essential role of immigrants in local economies and called out corporations for exploitative practices. Protesters carried signs with slogans like 'Immigrants make America Great' and 'They blame immigrants so you won't blame billionaires,' reflecting a broad critique of both government and corporate actors. The events brought together labor groups, city officials, and community activists, with calls to end programs that delegate immigration enforcement to local authorities and to protect working-class power. Across the nation, the May Day demonstrations underscored widespread frustration with the Trump administration's approach to labor and immigration, demanding stronger protections and social justice.
