VIDEO: Borough President Eric Adams leads stroller march against family separation policy
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams led hundreds of parents, children and local politicians through the streets of Sunset Park on Sunday in a “stroller march” protesting the Trump administration’s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the border of U.S. and Mexico.
Some strollers were filled with children on the way to the Metropolitan Detention Center, but Adams pushed a carriage that held a sign reading “No Walls, No Cages.”
“This carriage here, is a symbol of protection, it’s a symbol of nurturing, it’s a symbol of what children represent in America,” Adams yelled in front of the prison, holding the stroller above his head. “When you take a baby out of this and remove them from their mother or their father, you’re destroying the foundation of America and that cannot happen.”
