Organizers: Protest driven by rough Trump tactics

WINONA, Minn. — A couple hundred demonstrators braved a frigid afternoon to march around Lake Winona’s west arm to protest President Trump’s terror brigades that are roaming the state for people to deport. March organizers acknowledged disappointment at the turnout. As many as 1,400 demonstrators participated in earlier Winona protests, all in less hostile weather. Organizers said they weighed disagreeable weather — below zero and windy — against the urgency to address Trump’s escalating provocations, disregard for civil rights, cruelty and indecency.
