Hundreds march streets of Milwaukee protesting Trump administration's policies

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Activists are speaking out against the Trump administration's policies with a statewide strike on International Workers' Day -- also known as May Day. 

The rain did not stop thousands of protesters from getting out and making their voices heard. There were people with various signs protesting against ICE and the Trump administration. Other signs were in support of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. 

Voces de la Frontera announced the two-day statewide strike. 

Marchers were out in support of immigrants and workers' rights. 

The strike, which happens every day, focused on the Trump administration this year and ICE's presence in courtrooms. 

Last week, Judge Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid being arrested by ICE. 

Protesters say they're concerned about ICE being present in courthouses. 

"Mostly concerned with people that are just taking away all human services that they can in support of any human rights. Anything that would benefit the common person and it’s just destroying our country," said Tom Brady, protester. 

Some protesters CBS 58 spoke with say they marched for their family members who can't.
