35 held after protests erupt in Trump’s San Diego rally

But the governor has taken a hard line on immigration enforcement, including a five-year effort to do away with New Mexico’s policy of issuing driver’s licenses to immigrants in the country illegally.

At one point a protester pulled at a gate but other demonstrators tried to calm him down.

Trump’s rhetoric against immigrants, Muslims and women has prompted widespread outrage across the US. Earlier on Friday, hundreds of demonstrators had also gathered at another Trump campaign appearance in Fresno, in central California, during which the bombastic candidate reiterated his vow to build a wall to prevent undocumented immigrants from entering the United States from Mexico. Trapped there, the number of protesters dwindled to several dozen as police pushed on with armored vehicles, firing pepper-balls and beanbag rounds at the crowd.

That led protesters to throw water bottles at the officers. Despite tense moments, there were no arrests by the time the rally ended. The governor’s office fired back that the billionaire businessman had used economic data dating to 2000, a decade before Martinez was elected, to exaggerate trends while overlooking her efforts to tie food benefits to work-related requirements.

Emotions boiled over, then things became physical.

A few altercations broke out between supporters of the presumptive Republican nominee and protesters opposed to his campaign, particularly Trump’s views on immigration. I don’t love the dictator – bad guy, OK? “Is my nose broken?” Sentiments continue to flare due in part to a large Hispanic population.

As the rally began to wrap up, police in riot gear closed in on the crowd.

A helicopter loudspeaker and ground loudspeakers repeatedly made announcements that unlawful assembly was declared, and anyone in the area would be arrested if they stayed.

Thirty-five people were arrested during the protests, according to police.

Andrews said she supports Trump because he is “a very good speaker and he has the courage of his convictions”. “Everybody says it, but I have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump, a hater”.

After speaking to farmers who complained of a lack of water for crops, he said: “They don’t understand, nobody understands it. There is no drought.

Now, they’re trying to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish”.

The 3-inch Delta smelt is a native California fish on the brink of extinction.

Donald Trump will most likely face Democrat Hillary Clinton.

On Friday, Trump backed out, saying in a statement it woudl be “inappropriate to debate the second place finisher”. “We like Bernie…. He doesn’t have a chance and what he’s doing to her is incredible”.

Trump continued, “You know what?”

Sanders’ team took Trump up on it, negotiating with TV networks and getting a million dollar pledge from a Sanders supporter.
