Trump Rally In Southern California Is Scene Of Large Counterprotest, Arrests

Written by Teunis Felter

Inside the rally, people chanted “Build that wall.” Outside, others chanted “Don’t vote Trump” — and before the night was over, the two sides had a tense confrontation on a street in Costa Mesa, Calif., where Donald Trump gave a speech Thursday. Police say no major injuries were reported — but that they also arrested around 20 people. Before the night was over, demonstrators attacked at least one police car, shattering its windows. Hundreds of protesters filled the streets outside the Pacific Amphitheater, an outdoor venue in Orange County where Trump spoke as his presidential campaign gets rolling ahead of California’s June primary.
