Anti-Trump protests continue for 5th day

New York, Nov 14 : Anti-Donald Trump protests continued for the fifth day across the US opposing the Republican s shocking victory in last week s presidential election.In Manhattan, a group gathered on Sunday to demonstrate against the President-elect s immigration policies, CNN reported."The main purpose is to tell Donald Trump he can t just deport 11 million undocumented people," a protestor said. "They re here to stay and we stand in solidarity with them."In Los Angeles, around 100 people peacefully protested in front of the CNN building. A small protest also took place Sunday afternoon in Springfield, Massachusetts.Sunday was the fifth day of protests since Trump won against Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November 8 Presidential Election. Protesters are upset about Trump s policies on the environment; lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) rights; immigration and other issues. Some are also questioning the legitimacy of Trump s victory by noting that although he took the Electoral College, Clinton won the popular vote.On Saturday, 8,000 people took to the streets in Los Angeles. The march was peaceful, unlike a Friday night protest by 1,000 people that resulted in the arrests of 187 adults and eight juveniles, Los Angeles police said.Violence also flared again Saturday night in Portland, Oregon. Seventy-one people were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer, CNN reported.In New York, thousands of people marched in Saturday and gathered outside Trump Tower, the President-elect s home in Manhattan, where they chanted and proclaimed that he was "not my President".
