A smaller group of roughly 100 protesters has broken off from the main swath of marchers, and is now blocking traffic on 5th Street in front of the courthouse. 

LoCO reporter Andrew Goff is on scene and reports that Captain Brian Stephens of the Eureka Police Department has given the crowd two warnings to get out of the street. 

“No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” the protesters are chanting.

Goff reports that EPD officers have taken out plastic handcuffs and are preparing to arrest protesters who do not comply. 

Goff reports that the crowd continues march back and forth between 4th and 5th streets where they are continually met by officers.

We will post video shortly.
