Anyone knows what's going on? Seems like a parade. Are they protesting or gathering anywhere?

Just left there. Huge turn out. Even slowing down traffic on 59/69 because of all the protesters on the overpass. Thousands. Police on horseback, saw about 12 of them. Some trying to unsnarl traffic. Not working.

All along Richmond; avoid Mandell, it is like a parking lot. Huge number of people involved in the protest (peacefully).

Massive, massive pro-immigrant protest parade just walked down Bissonnet heading in the direction from Dunlavy toward Mandell (and onward from there). Lots of strong energy!

The massive display of Mexican flags plays right into Trump’s assertion that illegal immigration is a hostile invasion.
If these protests continue and the rampant displays of non-American flags continues, you will see the use of overwhelming violence by law enforcement to end them.
If the protests start interfering with people commuting to work, you will see massive use of government violence to stop them.
If protesters actually wanted to communicate their message effectively, they would be wrapped in American flags and saying how they love America.

I am looking forward to when all Latin and Central American countries get together and slap 25% tariffs on America just like Canada has done it.

Idk but it's preventing me from getting to my house which is unfortunate. One of the many reasons I wish we had better public transportation.

Very convincing if you ask me, protest against deporting illegals by carrying flags from other countries.

So you are protesting the arrest and deportation of murderers, human trafficers, gang members, and pedos? Because that's who is being arrested. They aren't grabbing your lawn guy or the kitchen crew at your local aquarium. I'm just trying to figure out if these are commie reddit bot accounts left over from 2016 or if you are lying on purpose.

I get that waving a flag of a different country at the protest is how they are protesting on behalf for their people and I support it, but to challenge this idea they should use American flags even if they did use an American flag i'm struggling to understand how that would be more impactful? It would just look like any suburban neighborhood on memorial Day, and that looks cool too but I don't see it catching anyone's attention on behalf of activism

Doubt if it is gonna make a difference. I remember several protests during the first shitshow.
General public didn't care, and won't care about this issue.
Remember, they voted for this shit.
I have turned the news off and will tune out as long as this chaos is here.
