PROTESTS FLARE UP AGAIN OVER CHARLOTTES­VILLE

-

Protesters took to the streets of America again Monday in the wake of Saturday’s demonstrat­ions and violent actions by white nationalis­ts in Charlottes­ville, Va., over the planned removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. A 32-yearold woman died after a car rammed into counterpro­testers in Charlottes­ville. A 20-year-old Ohio man was arrested in the killing.

At Trump Tower in New York City, protesters and heavy security gathered as President Trump returned for the first time since his inaugurati­on.

More than 1,000 demonstrat­ors were in pens police erected across the street from Trump Tower by early Monday evening, hours before his expected arrival.

In Washington, Metro D.C. Police said demonstrat­ors had begun marching from Lafayette Park across from the White House up Pennsylvan­ia Avenue toward Trump Internatio­nal Hotel and the U.S. Capitol.
