Activists who organized the protest advocated that those in attendance consider employing civil disobedience in response to Florida's controversial new immigration detention centers.

Around 200 community members gathered in East Gainesville’s Fred Cone Park to participate in a nationwide protest Thursday.

A protest dubbed the "Make Good Trouble Rally" in honor of late U.S. Rep. John Lewis is planned for Chicago Thursday in Daley Plaza to oppose President Trump and his policies.

Former Russian President Medvedev calls for preemptive strikes while Trump gives Putin a 50-day ultimatum to reach peace with Ukraine or face sanctions. Mya Lesnar -- daughter of WWE star Brock Lesnar -- has a boyfriend who plays for the 49ers.

The gatherings invoked the Civil Rights leader’s memory while offering another venue for groups protesting the Trump administration this year.
