Trump is front and center at small immigration march

The May Day immigration march made its way down Broadway on Sunday with a much smaller crowd than in earlier years.

The truck leading the parade carried organizers chanting "Stop Donald Trump!" The crowd trailing behind stretched half a block.

"It's disappointing. Where is everyone?" asked Elmer Deleon, a 37-year-old immigrant from El Salvador who has settled in Huntington Park and works as a mechanic.

For immigrant rights, a small but passionate crowd
—

For the immigrant rights march, a small crowd had gathered shortly before 1 p.m. at Broadway and Olympic Boulevard, waving American and Mexican flags and carrying signs that read "Rise up" and "Full rights for all immigrants."

Eydee Rivera had dressed up her 1-year-old daughter, Arlette Martinez, in the colors of the Mexican flag. Rivera is from Puerto Rico, but her husband is from Mexico. Her daughter has "sangre Mexicana," she said, explaining the dress.

Rivera, whose husband is in the country illegally, came out to demand immigration reform.

Even little children shouted expletives about Donald Trump on the march down Broadway.

"He's ignorant," Rivera said of Trump. "We're human beings."
