LAS VEGAS (KLAS) Around 200 people gathered outside the Trump Hotel on Wednesday to push back against the Trump administration’s recent actions, mainly its promised change on immigration policies.

“We should be upset,” protester Shannon Large said. “We should be angry, and not enough people are.”

She was one of many who participated in the passionate protest Wednesday afternoon; many had signs in hand and chanted for change.

Protesters told affiliate KLAS the event didn’t have a specific organizer but was more of a grassroots movement.

The group reportedly came together on the Vegas Strip and marched to the Trump Hotel, where they demonstrated peacefully for about three hours.

Many told KLAS they are unhappy with President Donald Trump’s actions since he was sworn into office last week, mainly his potential changes in immigration policy.

“I know a lot of people who have undocumented families,” protester Albert Lucero said. “And they are worried they are going to be taken away from their children.”

Trump signed multiple executive orders in his first days in office, vowing to conduct mass deportations, strengthen border security and end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, a move that was temporarily blocked by a federal judge that called it unconstitutional.

“All illegal entry will immediately be halted,” the president said during his inauguration speech. “And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have called these moves positive for the future.

“We’re going to enforce immigration law,” Vance said during a Face the Nation interview. “We’re going to protect the American people.”

The group demonstrating Wednesday told KLAS it disagrees with their plan.

“We’re going to end up on the wrong side of history,” Large said. “We are already watching it.”

Those who attended the protest outside the Trump Hotel said they would continue to resist the proposed changes.

“We are going to stand up,” Lucero concluded. “And we will fight him until we win.”

Though Wednesday’s protest became heated at times, it remained peaceful with the constant presence of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.
