In US elections Donald Trump Faces Stiff Protest

New Mexico is the most Hispanic state in the US.

Mr Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, wants a wall to be built along the border with Mexico.

Protests outside a Donald Trump rally in New Mexico turned violent as demonstrators threw burning T-shirts and bottles and clashed with police.

The protesters had gathered outside the Albuquerque Convention Center, with banners that read “Trump is Fascist” and “We’ve heard enough”.

As the rally got under way, the crowd grew angry – throwing stones at police and trying to set fire to Trump T-shirts they had stolen from a seller, the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Albuquerque police, in a series of tweets, said bottles and rocks had been thrown at officers and police horses, and damage to a Convention Center window may have been caused by a pellet gun.

Police in riot gear fired smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters also interrupted Mr Trump’s speech at the rally in Albuquerque.
