Rally against immigration enforcement takes over Phoenix intersection

Описание: A big gathering at a busy Phoenix intersection on Sunday night was filled with Mexican flags, chants and fireworks as dozens protested against immigration enforcement.

The Jan. 26 rally is in response to the recent illegal immigration crackdown since President Donald Trump took office for his second term on Jan. 20. This is the first weekend since his inauguration, and the protests come as a few big U.S. cities, like Chicago and Atlanta, are seeing deportations.

The rally was near 75th Avenue between Thomas and McDowell roads.

By around 9 p.m., dozens of Phoenix Police cruises arrived. Officers were seen wearing riot gear.

Protesters could be seen blocking traffic and driving erratically in the road. Those who were setting off fireworks and driving dangerously quickly left once officers arrived.
