Denver was once again in President Donald Trump’s sights as he directed federal immigration officers to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities following large-scale protests
Dozens of Regional Transportation District routes were detoured or delayed throughout metro Denver on Saturday as thousands of Coloradans gathered for “No Kings” protests.
Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.
The Denver Police Department advised of road closures near the state capitol due to Saturday’s “No Kings” protest.
The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
A man disguised as a police officer shot and killed Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and injured Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. The suspect, Vance Boelter, is still at large, and authorities found a manifesto in his car listing other potential targets.
