Yes sop far as I know -- though after I posted that there must have been another several thousand people come up Broadway.
Seems they are getting to City Hall, milling around a little bit and then leaving.
The many people who parked near here are back to their cars and haonking horns. Mexican flags (and some American) stuck out windows and sunroofs.
Believe it or not a mariachi band is strolling around playing accompanied by the occasional Mexican howls and whoops from the passers by.

A large group is headed south on Main near the Reagan Builindg chanting "USA USA"
This same group is carrying American flags but alos many MExican flags as well.
A mixed message at best.

POSTSCRIPT:
Now there is a guy on a bull horn shouting in SPanish and .. .
. . . now he's trying to get them to sing something in Spanish to the tune of "We Shall Overcome"!
BTW . . . 99% of the speakers and chants have been in Spanish -- assimilation doesn't appear to be part of their aspirations.
