NYC: 1,000 Yemeni-Owned Bodegas Strike over Trump's Muslim Ban
--------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, more than 1,000 Yemeni-American-owned bodegas went on
strike Thursday to protest President Trump's executive order banning
people from Yemen and six other majority-Muslim countries from entering
the United States. Thousands of these bodega owners and workers, as well
as their family members, rallied at Borough Hall Thursday evening.

Abdul Rahman: "So I do work in a grocery store, and we closed to come
out here. It is our duty to come, so Donald Trump can see what we are
about. This is wrong what he's doing. It's wrong. It's wrong."
