More than a thousand people from across Texas came to protest outside the federal courthouse in Brownsville Thursday, demanding, "Keep Families Together." Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley are the epicenter of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy that criminally prosecutes migrants who cross the border, and has led to the separation of more than 2,000 children from their parents. Speakers included the actor Jay Ellis, who stars in the HBO series "Insecure."
