Cities and towns across America saw protests against President Donald Trump on Friday.
The "Close the Camps" protests organized by "Lights for Liberty" were a response to the administration's inhumane border policies.
The protests occurred the same day that a public relations tour by Vice President Mike Pence backfired after the VP was greeted with an overwhelming stench of urine at Trump's camps.
