Group Vows to Go Forward With Anti-Trump March at Mar-a-Lago

A group says they're still planning to demonstrate after organizers canceled a planned weekend protest march outside President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, saying they had concerns about safety.

Lead organizer Stephen Milo said in statement Thursday that Saturday's March to Mar-a-Lago is being canceled because of "the possibility of the march turning into an angry confrontational demonstration vs. a joyful show of unity" as originally envisioned.

But another group, South Florida Activism, said they plan on protesting anyway.

The president is scheduled to be at Mar-a-Lago this weekend and will likely attend an American Red Cross fundraiser there Saturday night. The protest was to be aimed at the president's moratorium on refugees from seven primarily Islamic countries.

Milo said his decision came after meetings with West Palm Beach police officials, whom he said were respectful and accommodating.

More than 2,000 people had registered on Facebook to attend Milo's march.
