A group of activists gathered at La Guardia airport in New York on June 25 to support a small group of migrant children who the groups believed were separated from their families at the US-Mexico border and flown from Houston to New York.

Video posted by one of the activist groups shows a group of children, all dressed in similar hooded sweatshirts, being escorted through the airport.

President Donald Trump last week issued an executive order calling for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to suspend a policy of separating children from parents who were detained for illegally crossing into the US. Nearly 2,000 children were separated from their parents since May when the Department of Justice introduced a new policy to prosecute all migrants who illegally entered the US, Vox reported.
