kristen wright is live for us with local reaction. >> reporter: well, jim, a rally is going on right. what's happening is that immigrants are sharinei explaining why they love this country. also talking about why they are opposed to some of president trump's policies. so, the crowd here is actually pretty big. the point is they want everyone to hear them. they want their voices heard. they are grateful that d.c. is a sanctuary city, but they do say things just could be better. >> and establishing that d.c. is a sanctuary city. and -- [ applause ] >> reporter: immigrants rallying in northwest d.c. to send the message that america is their home. >> i believe that everybody has that right to be able to call another place their home. i don't think that we should actually be creating those kinds of borders and divisions within our community of documented and undocumented. >> we're here to speak about our own experience and what it means to be sanctuary city. >> reporter: earlier today, d.c. mayor bowser talked about protecting the city's sanctuary status and also about the fear in the imm
