Dozens of child and teen protesters — mostly youths whose parents are in the United States illegally — departed Florida for Washington Monday to urge President Donald Trump to end his policy of ramped-up deportations.

Humbled by their courage. Hope everyone with them is a US born citizen!

There are more kids from all over the country going as well. I hope this ends up well.
