Demonstrators in Arizona took to the streets to protest against President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan on Sunday, and police say officers were assaulted amid the demonstration.
Glendale Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that there was a large group of people who gathered in protest of federal immigration policies.
A police spokesperson said a police vehicle was stolen by one protester but no arrest has been made.
The demonstrator “jumped into one of our patrol vehicles and drove it a short distance before it was quickly recovered,” the spokesperson said, adding that the suspect was unknown at that time.

“I know the last administration didn’t see it that way, so it’s a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are,” she said at a press briefing, declining to say if all the migrants in the U.S. illegally had criminal records.
People who cross the border illegally have committed a crime, but simply being in the U.S. illegally is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Someone could be in the country illegally without breaking laws to enter, such as overstaying a Visa.
Trump said in his inauguration speech last month that his administration would quickly deport “millions and millions” of migrants with criminal records, although the number of migrants with criminal records who are in the country without authorization is significantly less than those millions, according to Axios.
Studies also show that both legal and illegal migrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens.
