Businesses across US closing for 'Day Without Immigrants' protest
Thousands of immigrants are expected to participate in the "Day Without Immigrants" strike on Thursday. Some businesses — including a few McDonald's locations — are closing for the entire day, while others say they will give a portion of the day's earnings to nonprofits that help Latino communities. The strike is in defiance of President Donald Trump's immigration order temporarily banning travel to the US by refugees and by most people from seven majority-Muslim countries.

Celebrity chefs José Andrés and Andy Shallal, both immigrants, have also announced they will not open their restaurants on Thursday.
