Students Hold Anti-Trump Rallies At USC, UCLA

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — High school and college students claiming to be protesting the election of Donald Trump held rallies at and around the USC and UCLA campuses Thursday.

Dozens of students were seen marching along streets near the USC campus in Los Angeles, while students at San Gabriel High School also took part in their own walkout.

Protesters at UCLA held a pre-scheduled "Love Trumps Hate" rally on campus at UCLA.

The rallies comes less than a day after protesters who had remained peaceful and not overly disruptive for most of Wednesday night poured on to the 101 Freeway and stayed there for most of an hour. Drivers sat and waited. Many got out of their cars.

The crowd was slowly starting to disperse as many of the demonstrators left the freeway and others were taken into police custody.

There was no violence between officers and protesters.

The demonstrators were among thousands who took to streets in protest of Trump across the country, from New York to Texas to much of the West Coast.
