A growing group of protesters have gathered outside of a California event venue where Donald Trump is expected to speak this afternoon.
The street outside of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Burlingame where Trump is going to address the California GOP Convention near San Francisco was already closed in advance of the event.
There were an estimate 250 to 300 protesters gathered outside from a collection of different groups, including Code Pink and Black Lives Matter as well as supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Some protesters were seen holding the Mexican flag and others were wearing costumes.
A man wearing a suit and a "Make America Great Again" hat was seen walking near a group of protesters, some of whom were seen hitting the man, who was believed to be a supporter of the Republican front-runner.
Some of the posters held by protesters criticized Trump's immigration policy.
Other than the above incident, today's protests are said to be largely peaceful, which comes in contrast to the protests that were held near a Trump event in Los Angeles last night. More than a dozen arrests were made Thursday night and some protesters were seen damaging police cars.
