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.
