'Freedom for refugees,' chanted hundreds at Toronto protest against Trump's travel ban
U.S. consulate suspended services on Monday due to the downtown protestSource: CBC
Hundreds of people protested against the Trump administration's travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries outside the U.S. Consulate General in Toronto on Monday.
"Freedom for refugees, justice for immigrants," members of the crowd chanted during a march to city hall.
Speakers urged the crowd to write letters to U.S. President Donald Trump, demanding the repeal of Friday's executive order barring citizens from Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Libya and Iran from entering the U.S.
They also said the U.S. should send its refugees to Canada and that protesters should consider privately sponsoring refugees.
