More than 70 official rallies unfolded across Florida, including Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and the Florida Keys. The demonstrations, about 2,000 nationwide, hit the streets after a federal crackdown on protesters in Los Angeles who were marching in response to the nation’s new stringent immigration policies and ICE raids.

The marchers halted before Palm Beach County sheriffs deputies in shields and helmets at the end of the bridge.
