Bella and Gigi Hadid joined a protest in New York against Trump's immigration ban on Sunday.
The model sisters were seen hitting the city streets chanting 'No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.'
Bella, 20, held up a sign that read 'We are all Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheists, Christians, Jews' as she marched down a blocked off Big Apple roadway.

Models Bella and Gigi Hadid joined in the protest against President Trump's immigration ban on the streets of New York City on Sunday
Bella bundled up beneath a cozy cream colored knit turtle neck which cropped above her pants flashing her belly button and taut tummy.
The model showed off her lean pins in a pair of skintight pinstripe jeans which flared at the knee and completely covered her footwear.
The brunette beauty sported a pair of shades and pinned her raven colored tresses high on top of her head in a bun.

Gigi, 21, looked fashionable per usual in a cropped pair of jeans by Mother denim which featured a red stripe on the sides and perfectly matched her candy apple colored puffer jacket.
The supermodel sisters are only a year apart in age and are very close.
They were also joined by their mother Yolanda Hadid, who shared a snap from the march.
Their decision to join the protest came after Bella missed the Women's March that followed Trump's inauguration, after her work commitments meant she was overseas.
She was mocked for posting an image in support of the march - which instead was taken at the 1995 Million Man March.

Meanwhile, some of those held at New York City's John F Kennedy airport were seen celebrating as they left Terminal 4 following more than 30 hours of detention.
However, Trump defended his sweeping order on immigration Sunday afternoon and and said he would find other ways to help those suffering from Syria's bloody civil war.
The president said in a statement that 'America is a proud nation of immigrants' that'will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression,' but 'while protecting our own citizens and border'.

He denied once again that his executive order, which bans visitors from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, seven predominantly Muslim countries, was a ban aimed at Muslim people.
'This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe,' he said. 'There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.'
Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly declared the entry of lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, to be of national interest on Sunday evening.
'In applying the provisions of the president's executive order, I hereby deem the entry of lawful permanent residents to be in the national interest,' he said in a statement.
'Accordingly, absent the receipt of significant derogatory information indicating a serious threat to public safety and welfare, lawful permanent resident status will be a dispositive factor in our case-by-case determinations.'
There were a number of protests scheduled across New York, with a huge crowd already seen gathered at Battery Park - which provided a clear view of the Statue of Liberty out in the water.
