    Eight protesters arrested outside California Trump rally

    Several dozen people protested and eight were arrested Wednesday outside a Donald Trump rally in California where the demonstrators were outnumbered by police aiming to prevent the kind of trouble seen at other rallies for the candidate.

    ANAHEIM, CALIF. Several dozen people protested and eight were arrested Wednesday outside a Donald Trump rally in California where the demonstrators were outnumbered by police aiming to prevent the kind of trouble seen at other rallies for the candidate.

    Seven adults and one minor were taken into custody when they failed to follow orders to break up the protest after a Trump speech at the Anaheim Convention Center, police Sgt. Daron Wyatt said.


    The order came after shouting matches erupted between opponents and a few supporters of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.


    Lines of police in riot gear — some on foot, others on horseback — were backed by armored vehicles as they closely watched over the crowd.


    Earlier, demonstrators pummeled a Trump pinata, decapitating it outside the center.


    Some demonstrators with their faces covered by bandannas shouted expletives against the candidate, while others stood quietly with signs reading "migration is beautiful" and "we are not rapists."


    Lizbeth Barrera of Anaheim is only 17 and can't vote this election. But the high school junior said she came out to protest against Trump because of his comments about Mexicans, among other reasons.


    "We don't need a racist coming here and trying to convince people to vote for him," she said while holding a sign calling Trump a misogynist and bully.


    Wearing a red "Make America Great Again" cap, Andrew Willingham, 24, said he has long disdained voting and at first was wary of Trump but now supports him.


    "He's anti a lot of regulation, pro wall, which mean less minimum wages," Willingham said.

    "I watched more and more of his stuff, and yeah, I fell in love."


    Last month, anti-Trump demonstrators took to the streets outside a similar event in nearby Costa Mesa, damaging police cars and throwing bottles. At least 17 people were arrested.


    Trump has drawn thousands of ardent supporters to his events along with passionate critics of his plans to build a wall on the Mexican border and his comments about immigrants and Muslims.


    His appearances have generated protests in other states as well, most recently Tuesday night in Albuquerque, N.M., when demonstrators outside a rally clashed with police, several of whom were injured by rocks.


    A message was sent to the Trump campaign seeking comment.

    14 arrested at Trump rally protests in Anaheim

    Police in Anaheim arrested 14 protesters Wednesday during a rally for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to authorities.

    Most of the arrests occurred after some demonstrators threw objects at police, prompting authorities to declare the protest gathering an unlawful assembly. In total, 11 protesters were arrested on suspicion of failing to disperse or of vandalism, Anaheim police Officer Laura Lomeli said.


    Two other arrests were made for public urination. A T-shirt vendor also was arrested before the rally began for selling without a license, she said. Those arrested included five juveniles.

    No injuries were reported, despite reports that objects were tossed.


    Demonstrations continued through the evening, even after Trump had left, and eight more protesters were arrested, Lomeli said.

    Law enforcement had been preparing for weeks for Trump's visit to the Anaheim Convention Center, which came a day after demonstrators and police went head-to-head in New Mexico following a Trump rally there.


    On Wednesday, protesters held a rowdy but largely peaceful demonstration, a contrast with the violence that broke out after a Trump rally last month in Costa Mesa. After speaking in Anaheim, Trump appeared at a taping of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in Hollywood, then headed to the Los Angeles home of investor Thomas Barrack Jr. for a campaign fundraiser.


    Trump has rallies scheduled later this week in San Diego and Fresno.
