Hundreds of candles were lit in Burlington and in cities across the country in support of the families detained at the southern border, and against what demonstrators are calling their inhumane treatment at the centers.
“The vast vast vast majority of people who are tied up at the border are tied up because they want a better life,” Seth Steinzer said. He says his grandparents immigrated here and believes the people coming here now are simply looking for a better life.
The candlelight vigil was called “Lights for Liberty.”
