In the days before he graduates from Northwestern University, Bryan Cárcamo has sent his parents in California photos of himself in a black suit draped in a purple gown with honor cords he plans to wear for the ceremony. “They tell me of how proud they are of me,” he said. Seeing Cárcamo through a screen will be the closest his parents will get to his graduation.

Instead, dozens of protesters gathered Monday morning in Daley Plaza to denounce travel restrictions.
