NEW YORK >> Immigrants and their advocates added their voices on Sunday to those who have been marching and protesting Donald Trump’s presidential win.
Organizers said the protest scheduled for Sunday mid-afternoon in Manhattan was about speaking out against Trump’s support of deportation and other measures. It was the latest in days of demonstrations across the country. Other protests were expected Sunday in San Francisco, St. Louis Philadelphia, Denver and more.
On Saturday, demonstrators gathered in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, as well as in smaller places like Worcester, Massachusetts, and Iowa City, Iowa.
In Los Angeles, an estimated 8,000 people marched Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump’s hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women.
Protests also were held in Detroit, Minneapolis and others. More than 200 people, carrying signs, gathered on the steps of the Washington state Capitol. The group chanted “not my president” and “no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.”
In Tennessee, Vanderbilt University students sang civil rights songs and marched through campus across a Nashville street, temporarily blocking traffic.

Demonstrations also took place internationally. A group of Mexicans at statue representing independence in Mexico City expressed their concerns about a possible wave of deportations. One school teacher said it would add to the “unrest” that’s already in Mexico. About 300 people protested Trump’s election as the next American president outside the U.S. Embassy near the landmark Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
Mostly, the demonstrations were peaceful. However, in Portland, Oregon, a man was shot and wounded Saturday morning during a confrontation. Police arrested two teenagers in the shooting.
Los Angeles police arrested five people during an anti-Trump protest that wound down in the early morning hours where demonstrators gathered at the president-elect’s star on the Walk of Fame.
Four adults were cited for vandalism and a juvenile was arrested on suspicion of battery on an officer.

Clearly Acacia Handel and her shibai sign, “No human is illegal” hasn’t got a clue how the real world works. Standard for simple minded millennials.
Someone needs to teach these losers what happens when illegals come into a country. Germany now realizes letting in so many immigrants was a massive mistake, never should have happened.
We need to control who comes into the country, who can be a legal citizen. No line jumping, no special favors. Deal with it.
lol. CRAZY Liberals
Shall we strike the word “illegal” out of Websters? Democrats and Liberals lost the election, read and weap. lol
you all go move to Canada, Mexico or go catch a plane to whatever Country that’ll take you in. hahahahahahahaha LOSERS!
Clean out the incarcerated illegal aliens in the US would save us taxpayers a ton of money! Do it!
“…would save us taxpayers a ton of money!”
Make the violent criminals mandatory organ donors as partial restitution to society.
make the Countries pay taking back their low life illegal alien ingrateful thugs. America of all places where the Freedom Bell rung and rings today, let them do what they do to Americans and they be rotting in hell in their respected incarceration if allowed to live. Who cares what the foriegn Countries will do to those who return as criminals. I bet they’ll be lawyering up to not going back as they’d be killed site seen in their country. Lock em up for good or give them the option taking their chances to return to their place of origin. Who cares about these low-lifes that prayed on Americans but the LIBERALS, who’ll try to amnestized this thugs to earn a future vote.
Make them build the wall without pay.
IRT dragon: why even wait for them to donate their organs s let’s take it from them as payment for their stay.
Pocho, you the loser. I did not vote for trump but he’s going to be working for me. 24/7 chained to the WH and leashed by Ryan. It’s going to be fun. Can’t wait till the massive protest on Jan.20,2017. It will be an awesome show of American patrionism.
The protests are going to get worse. Can’t see it getting any better if Republicans continue to react against protests like they do in this forum.
No Nana-kool-aid, you’re the massive loser! Let’s not forget your massive insults towards everyone as you cheer-leaded for HitLAIRy along with your mother Klastri. Both of you have been very wrong about many topics and the latest loss is further proof you should be sent to Mexico, where you actually belong. Even if you’re not of Mexican decent you actually belong there. You’ll get along with the Mexicans better than here. They all are anti-gun, anti democracy and pro union. Your kind of place.
Nanakuli & Wiliki…you guys lost in a LANDSLIDE! Get over it.
Poor ButtHurt loser. The classic projection of exactly of the self worthlessness one feels there NanaKolaidPuss.
No wili, I believe you’re dead wrong. If these protests continue in a peaceful and rational manner, without disrupting lives or destroying property, then I might agree. But if not, the patience of the general public is wearing thin.
Nana’s, here’s the problem as I see it today. Barry and Hillary are Good for Nothin’s, they sit on their okole’s letting the riots go on without a pip squeak out of their mouths. Think about this, TheDonald has no power or authority today to quell these losers rioting. The elections over, it is what it is, nothin will change and if anything this will push TheDonald harder to get these illegal protesters out of the US. You took the Liberals/Democrats words hook line and sinker and got reeled in like an aku. Wake up and smell da coffee bruddah. lol
you already landed in the ice cooler and iced up with Crooked Lying Hillary’s loss. lol
Can we say you are close to being sashimi! if not already. lol
Give it up loser. I told you Trump was going to win in a landslide. So who was right?
Trump has done more in 3 days than Obama did in almost 8 years.
God bless the protesters…
Wiliki knows he may be deported, even if he is a U.S. citizen.
“It will be an awesome show”, watching them Democrapic cry babies on live TV making A holes out of themselves. Yeah, “AWESOME”!
What do these protesters think would happen if they were illegally in another country? Jail, deported or shot.
NO
too bad that there are people who, like the photo shows, DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD ILLEGAL MEANS OR REFERS TO WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE ELECTION! for one thing, how can any person who has entered the the USA ILLEGALLY have a bonafide right to say anything say on the way OUR COUNTRY IS RUN unless they voted?? oh anyone can express an opinion but unless they voted or can show proof that they did vote, they are simply expressing a singular bias toward a topic. as such they are simply practicing their ADOPTED RIGHT to EXPRESS THEIR PERSONAL OPINION under a DEMOCRATIC PROCESS which is practiced within the USA using its GOVERNMENTAL SETUP AND PROCESSES as a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC stipulated and designed by FOUNDING FATHERS under the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. so bottom line, if you no vote or no can vote because of your status as an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, you are merely expressing an unenforceable opinion that may not matter in the larger scheme of things. the fact that there is any type of demonstration, massive or otherwise, only exemplifies that we do have a DEMOCRATIC PROCESS that CAN operate within the framework of a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. this is probably the single most important factor which brought these GUESTS to our great country in the first place – and probably do not realize it! sad!!! but that’s the verifiable and UNDENIABLE reality!
I agree with you but we must first ask if these illegals come from a white country or a brown country, we like the white illegals that’s why.

I certainly hope that starts midnight Jan 20 , 2017. The control of entry has to happen immediately.
The progressives will do everything they can to make Trump look bad for doing it , but it has to happen.
Personally I think the draft should be reinstated while it all gets straightened out. Fat chance huh?
IRT Waterman2: yes bring back the draft but only to the poor people, we should make it a point to not force people of power and wealth to send their kids into service, right? #MAGA
Dam illegals want to rule the world!Throw them out including thier brood!
I am no fan of Donald Trump and this election feels like Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter – but people get a grip!!!
The woman with the protest sign stating “no human being is illegal” should consider that her reaction to Trump’s win goes a long way towards explaining precisely why he did. OBTW it is true “no human being is illegal” however crossing the sovereign boarders of a country without LEGALLY doing so is ILLEGAL. Pau.
If a human being can be “illegitimate”, why can’t a human being be “illegal”?
Nothing illegal about her. She obeys all the laws and pays her taxes.
A more acceptable term would be undocumented.
Maybe we should say Trump is illegal because he doesn’t pay his taxes.
Weenie, your guys helped to make the laws! Deal with the loss in a classy way.
1. With your interpretation of the law I guess if I entered your home without permission and decided to squat in it and live with you for free as long as I obey the other laws makes it just? I’m moving in and I’m bringing Jesus Rodriguez with me, what’s your address Wiliki?
2. The IRS would have arrested him if he didn’t. I don’t see any response from the IRS claiming any fraud or tax evasion.
“Undocumented” is bad logic.
A person may be undocumented because they lost their papers, or because they are here legally but do not yet have their papers.
The purpose of language is to make distinctions.
Using neutral generalizations like “undocumented” to hide real distinctions is a kind of sneaky lying.
wiliki foolish is your comment. HIS taxes? He pays what is lawfully owed by him.
How can you possibly know if Trump doesn’t pay his taxes?
Trump’s taxes are still being audited.
Perhaps Congress should now put a special prosecutor in charge of the investigation to insure that that Trump does not interfere through his office.
And while we’re doing this why not also investigate his fraudulant business dealings?
Trump will be impeached and convicted in his first year in office.
wiliki your predictions sound suspiciously like the false prophet klastri who doesn’t dare to show his face anymore.
Wiliki, crap point of view. The Donald didn’t break the law he just was smarter than all of us normal peasants who are to stupid or poor to find the answers like he did. He is going to outsmart the government now that he is President, the federal government doesn’t have a chance against him. #MAGA
IRT wiliki: So, you don’t know if Trump hasn’t paid taxes. Also, you ask for a special prosecutor. Did you ask for one with Hillary? Had they assigned one early on, it is likely the whole last minute Comey situation may not have occurred. I already know your answer.
I would bet that Trump won’t be impeached (sounds like something Boots would say, btw), unless he is using a private server in the basement of one of his hotels. In fact, once the people of Hawaii see the results of Trump’s programs, you may see a revitalization of the Republican Party in Hawaii….finally!
trump has outlined the legal methodology of becoming a citizen of america for illegal aliens.
illegal aliens need to return to their home land, apply for immigration to america, wait for approval and then reenter america legally and then work towards citizenship.
my immigrant ancestors came over with legal immigration documents and worked their way into citizenship.
it’s not that hard.
Exactly! I fail to understand why the promoters of illegals here aren’t encouraging the illegals to return to their home country and apply for legal entry. What seems tobe the problem here people?
Deport the ILLEGALS!
When will Trump release his wife’s immigration papers?
BS you need help getting over LANDSLIDE LOSS.
No need to now. He will pardon her.
lol^5
Get over it bsdetection we don’t ask for the white people countries s papers it’s the brown people that we have to keep out.
Why do we need more immigrants at all? They only damage our country by making traffic jams worse, increasing housing shortage and many more bad things related to overpopulation. The darn country is full enough!
Allan’s exactly they should just stick to where they from, when I tell my parents this they don’t understand. They keep bringing up that crap about my great grandparents coming to America for me, they should have stayed put, those losers.
In all honesty why do we even allow anybody from another country here, keep America America.
As that liberal icon , Obama once announced “Elections have consequences.”
Agree…look at O’s wasted 8 years with NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
Yes that brown stain on Americas history is the greatest consequence of an election ever.
The biggest waste of a black man’s opportunity in the history of mankind.
IRT Waterman2: hope we learned our lesson, we should have never given his kind a chance, am I right? hopefully they realize they only get chance and the. It’s back to the normal white man in power. #MAGA
immigration reform = long overdue
No reform required, just follow the laws on the books.
Only in America can “illegals” protest against a legally elected President of the United States. Hopefully, that will change when everyone in this country is here legally.
Great point these illegals are ruining this country.
Does any sane person in the US think they can go to, say, France without a visa and expect to vote, get preferential education privileges, monetary assistance, a driver’s license, housing assistance, amnesty, etc. Better it stops now, before it gets really really ugly.
Great point!
I’ve said it before, let them protest and demonstrate (peacefully) all they want, the election results will not change and Trump will be sworn in as president on January 20.
Protests won’t affect Trump.
But protests may change Congress’s mind about implementing Trump’s initiatives.
Emmm, I don’t thing you realize who exactly voted in Trump. It was Congress, aka the Electoral College. Now you’re desperately trying to tell use the voters changed their mind to listen to a few million illegals over 300 million voters? haaaaaa
Dragonwater, you need a course in basic civics, which, unfortunately is not taught in many schools today. Trump was duly elected President in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, which is the “Law of the Land.”
Wiliki…get a grip.
Eh wili, these protests are going to assure a 2nd term for Mr. Trump. Keep it up.
If we’re lucky it will but by then America will be great and we won’t need him.
Not a fan of Trump but that been said, All people protesting the election result is full of DOODOO. I gues they never had a civics lesson in school…. Oh forgot!!
the past 30 years of US educational system failed to teach these “KIDS” any common sense in how the election system works and how our country is operated.
never in the history of this country we had protest against legal official election results. I guess we have bunch of kids, (adults) crying over spilled milk… Protest all you want but not gonna get anything done. Stop your kiddy ways and start making difference by doing something positive and change the system we have by legal methods…
They are all free to leave back to Mexico, ohh wait never-mind, the criminals aren’t wanted there either. Send them to North Korea on the next military or cargo ship.
Don’t forget these Filipinos, Samoans and Asians taking our jobs here in Hawaii, send them back.
Who are you? Where to you come from? What a sad comment. Hope you’re not Hawaiian.
Why, what does it matter? Taking back our islands like Trump is taking back America. #MAGA
If these peeps want to live in anarchy with now laws, move to Syria. I would be happy to pay your one way ticket.
Count me in, I’ll even help them pack!
Really dumb sign. It is tantamount to saying there are no immigration laws or borders.
Everyone has a right to protest.
You are correct. Even the semi-literate Cranky Old Men who are using up their internet time at our local assisted-living facilities. I’m always surprised at the vehemence toward the SA by some of these people when this forum seems to be the only outlet they have to express their frustration.
Why so surprised…? We would not know otherwise. Discussion is a keystone of our democracy.
A far better and more civil outlet to vent than your peers rioting in the streets, destroying property and demanding amnesty and welfare while illegally residing in a country.
Us kupuna no longer have the energy to protest in the streets. We do that here in the Forum.
IRT wiliki: you sound lazy
Cellodad…”There you go again” with your immature name calling. You lost.
And yet you’re here…
Why so much disrespect for our senior citizens who were part of making America great?
Wrong these senior citizens were the cause of making America suck. Trump will fix it though, all praise to Trump. #MAGA
Justin’s , you are an idiot who probably has never done anything for anybody except lighten your mommies wallet.
Mexico DOES NOT want these people back. They will probably try to block their reentry into Mexico.
Mexico will actually pay to build the wall with the threat of sending them all back! haaaaaa
Seems to me that if I were an illegal alien, I wouldn’t want to parade through the streets protesting and drawing attention to myself with the change in leadership just around the corner. Just saying.
They no longer fear anything, not even arrests after committing crimes as sanctuary cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have not deported any of them for decades.
I understand that, my point is, they should consider what might be coming their way, think ahead, so to speak.
On the bright side, Trump plans to immediately deport or jail 2 to 3 million illegals, hopefully they put that NSA facial recognition system to good use and get to the rioters next…
http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-deport-undocumented-immigrants-2016-11
You act like these immigrants can even think, they’re not Americans they don’t have this ability yet. #MAGA
Funding for sanctuary cities is doomed very shortly. In fact , they were the blue spots on the map of almost completely red.
Also the word is out that in the final vote count Trump also won the popular vote quite handily..
The lady with the sign is a perfect example of the importance of “Birth Control”.
While I personally don’t support abortion she and Nanci Pelosi are living proof abortion should be legal!
Don’t forget Clintons mother and Obamas mother they both should have aborted those losers, our country would have been better without them. #MAGA
LMAO, agree!
This is Civil Disobedience, numerous law violations/criminal property damages, and the donkey Obama did nothing to quell the protesters from the get-go. The same inaction position that took place with the 2012 Benghazi attack to stand-down where four (4) Americans were murdered. Obama and Hilliary have blood on their hands.
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi post haste in order to retrieve US made Stinger missiles supplied to Ansar al-Sharia. Without Congressional oversight or permission. Hillary brokered the deal through Stevens and a private arms dealer named Marc Turi. Then some of the shoulder-fired missiles ended up in Afghanistan and used against our own military. It was July 25th, 2012 when a Chinook helicopter was taken down by one of our own Stingers, but the idiot Taliban didn’t arm the missile and the Chinook didn’t explode, but had to land anyway. An ordnance team recovered the serial number off the missile which led back to a cache of Stingers being kept in Qatar by the CIA. Obama and Hillary were now in full panic mode and Stevens was sent in to retrieve the rest of the Stingers. This was a “do-or-die” mission, which explains the stand down orders given to multiple commando teams. It was the State Dept, not the CIA that supplied them to our sworn enemies, because General Petraeus wouldn’t supply these deadly weapons due to their potential use on commercial aircraft. Then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus after he refused to testify that he OK’d the BS talking points about a spontaneous uprising due to a YouTube video. Obama and Hillary committed treason and THIS is what the investigation is all about, why she had a private server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and why Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was because of a Youtube video, even though everyone knew it was not. Further, the Taliban knew that this administration aided and abetted the enemy. Without Congressional approval. When Boehner created the Select Cmte, and the Taliban began pushing the Obama Administration for the release of 5 Taliban Generals. Bowe Bergdahl was just a pawn, everyone KNEW he was a traitor. So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised and a woman that is a serial liar, perjured herself multiple times at the Hearing. Who is now running for POTUS. Only the Dems, with their hands out, palms up, will support her. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft was called in, because the administration knew our enemies had Stingers.

All you bloggers bashing the immigrants are going to be sorry. You’re just pouring gasoline on the flames. Keep doing this and Trump will have no rest for the next four years. There will be huge protest every time he shows up in public.
When all the sane adults get fed up with the whining of the insane libs the other side of the equation will be written.
Speaking from experience?
You mean 8 years right kama. The more you clowns protest, will only assure Mr. Trump a 2nd term. Liking that.
They can protest all they like, the Donald will not let them win, he is strong just like he is on the Apprentice.
Ah, that’s a fake show.
You are wrong sir, I saw it on TV so it’s real. #MAGA
The only thing real about that show is that it’s real stupid.
Let it happen , Trump loves publicity and the majority of Americans , in fact pretty much all that are not illegals , will back the deportation in a big way. I have hopes of it being as humane as possible , but these idiot protesters are cutting their own necks. Truth is , legal s who go out of their way destroying property and the like should be sent with them.
After the demonstrations… board the buss for deportation.
Bleeding heart DEMOCRATS . . . . . not with my tax dollars. Incidentally, I am a democrat who proudly voted TRUMP! Voted for Barry/Hillary ONCE . . . .sorry I did!
