Everything we saw at San Antonio's protest against Gov. Greg Abbott's immigration crackdown

On Saturday, San Antonio activists took part in a statewide day of action protesting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s anti-immigrant agenda.

The cities passed those measures in response to Republican-backed state laws which give the state unprecedented immigration enforcement powers.
