MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Hundreds gathered in Madison on Friday for a “Day Without Immigrants” march and rally, calling for expanded rights and protections for immigrant communities and workers.

The event began at Brittingham Park and ended at the State Capitol, where participants outlined three main demands: restoring access to driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants, granting in-state tuition to all Wisconsin students regardless of immigration status, and ending cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
