President Trump holding rally in Duluth, immigration protests planned

DULUTH, Minn. (KMSP) - President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Duluth, Minnesota, Wednesday evening, marking his first visit to the state since a campaign rally shortly before the 2016 election. 

The rally, scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m., has been moved to the AMSOIL Arena to accommodate a larger crowd. 

Before the rally, Trump is expected to meet with mining industry representatives and elected leaders for a roundtable discussion. U.S. Representative Jason Lewis and U.S. Representative Tom Emmer will be attending. 

In light of the growing controversy over the U.S. Department of Justice’s new “zero tolerance” immigration policy, some Minnesotans are planning protests outside the rally in Duluth.
