LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hundreds of people marched through Los Angeles on Sunday in a May Day rally that took aim at Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for his anti-illegal immigration platform that includes building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
The demonstration in America's second most populous city, which has a large immigrant population, came just days after protesters smashed the window of a police car and blocked traffic outside a Trump campaign event in Costa Mesa, California, 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Los Angeles.
On Friday, demonstrators blocked the entrance of a hotel hosting the California Republican convention in Burlingame, south of San Francisco, forcing Trump to halt his motorcade and go through a back entrance to deliver his speech.
The rally in Los Angeles remained peaceful and drew smaller crowds than some past May Day demonstrations in the city, with several hundred people marching through downtown at one point but largely dispersing by midafternoon.
Members of the crowd carried a large blow-up effigy of Trump holding a Ku Klux Klan hood, along with signs that read: "Dump Trump."
"He's threatened that should he become president of the United States, in his first 18 months in office, he fully intends to deport all 11 million-plus undocumented persons in the United States. We don't take that lightly," said Juan Jose Gutierrez, of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition.

Did you know that Trump is FOR:
Limited ‘gubermint’,
strong defense,
free capitalist markets,
freedom of speech,
religion,
the right to bear arms,
protected borders,
legal immigration,
and all that has made this country great and a beacon of righteousness and opportunity worldwide.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the first few posts that I read were all in favor of Trump.
especially the strong odor!
George $oreA$$’s hired LA RAZA Thugs = Criminal* Taco Nazis!
*Probably Illegals, also!
Wearing a face mask at a protest is a violation of California Law!
I’d guess anarchists, but I don’t recognize it.
I saw the demonstration in front of the Trump building today in Chicago. It was about 300 people and you almost felt sorry for them. Just a motley crew of street people with a few union thugs.
Trump couldn’t buy an attack that will be more valuable.
These illegal Mexicans are going to leave. They will not come back. They can take their crappy flags and get the hell “outta here”!!
What will happen to radical Cruzlamic Cruzhadis when they finally realize their god has feet of clay?
What’s with the uniforms? Grrrrr
The star like patch on their berets is actually a Christian cross with crossed ak-47s iirc
who gives a ####?
Trump!!!
btw, mainstream media has made the riots sound like nothing.
JUST a few police cars damaged. traitors.
North Korean or Texaco..
Leftards love fascistic themes..
Why did these clowns not resist the government of Mexico? They come here to make their stand?
Also, we have Mexican leaders (All European ancestry) that tell us we’re racist if we don’t accept all their criminals, uneducated, unhealthy, etc. Are they admitting to their failed leadership? Are they saying they don’t have the resources and know how to run their own nation?
These Mexican leaders of Spanish ancestry want to run all the indigenous people out. It is their way of ethic cleansing. They are the racists.
Yawn
