SAN ANTONIO – A local organization came together to protest against President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests in downtown San Antonio on Saturday.
Mujeres Marcharan hosted the protest at 11 a.m. at Labor Plaza, 500 E. Market Street.
“We condemn the glorification of the military within San Antonio, ‘Military City USA,’ as we know that many of us have been used as pawns to fight rich man’s wars,” the organization said in a news release, in part. “We have seen how they are used against their own people to assist in ICE raids and stoking fear in our people to stay home.”
Two additional protests were also planned on Saturday.
The first protest was scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. at the Park-N-Ride in front of the Wilson County Justice Center, located at 800 10th St. in Floresville.
Two organizers, Women’s March and 50501, are expected to rally from 5-8 p.m. at Travis Park. Marching begins at 7 p.m.
