U.S. California protests Trump's 'exportation of illegal immigrants' policy

Hundreds of citizens gathered at the U.S. Capitol in California to protest against President-elect Donald Trump's plan to deport immigrants on a large scale.

Hundreds of citizens protested on the 2nd local time to pressure the state legislature to oppose Trump's deportation of immigrants, according to the Associated Press.

The protesters asked the state legislature not to fund every penny of the deportation of immigrants, but also to create policies to protect them.

During the presidential campaign, Trump continued to criticize California's illegal immigrants and homelessness, stressing that he would forcibly deport illegal immigrants.
