Emotions overflow as activists encounter bus with separated refugee children
The scene at a border processing facility in McAllen, Texas, became emotional on Saturday after a group of immigration rights protesters unexpectedly encountered a bus carrying immigrant children.
The large crowd of adults, some of whom were visibly moved by the sight of the children inside the bus, waved to the minors and took cell phone video of the scene.
The protesters were able to temporarily stop the bus from moving, kneeling and sitting on the ground in front of the vehicle as police tried to calm the demonstrators down.
Local media said the national immigration rights organization LULAC, or League of United Latin American Citizens, had organized a general protest at the facility against the separation and detention of non-documented children from their parents, and that it was not expecting to encounter the bus full of children.
