They stand united.
That was the message outside Brooklyn Borough Hall as an estimated 5,000 Yemeni-Americans and other supporters attended a rally to protest President Donald Trump’s executive order barring entry to immigrants and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries to the United States.
An estimated 1,000 Yemeni-owned New York City bodegas and grocery stores shut their doors on Thursday, February 2 from 12 to 8 p.m. as part of the protest. Many of the employees were at the rally, held on the same day at 5 p.m.
