The protests, organized by the Families Belong Together coalition, center on the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that separated more than 2,000 children from their parents. The Trump administration has ended the practice of separating families, but many parents and children have yet to be reunited, and the hard-line border enforcement policy remains.

Saturday’s protest started at 10 a.m. and lasted two hours. More than a thousand people gathered in front of the Statehouse, holding signs and chanting.

Protesters called on Indiana Sens. Joe Donnelly and Todd Young to say no to additional funds for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has recently come under pressure. A spokesman for Young said the senator does not support policies that separate children from parents.

A spokeswoman for Donnelly’s office said the senator supports strengthening the immigration system but has joined other senators in calling for oversight hearings on the administration’s policy that resulted in the family separations. She said the senator hopes to see a plan soon from the Trump administration to quickly reunite the children who have been separated from their parents.
