Hundreds Flood El Paso Streets in ‘Hands Off’ Protest — Here’s Why They’re Furious!

Tensions ran high in downtown El Paso this weekend as a massive crowd took to the streets for a fiery ‘Hands Off’ protest, targeting federal policies under the Trump administration. The rally, held in San Jacinto Plaza, saw demonstrators holding signs, chanting slogans, and demanding immediate action on a range of issues including immigration reform, women’s rights, and healthcare access. Organized by local activist groups, the protest drew over 600 participants — many wearing red and black to symbolize unity and resistance. Emotional speeches echoed through the city center, with speakers calling out what they described as “political overreach” and “threats to personal freedom.” Police maintained a visible but passive presence, and the event remained peaceful despite the strong rhetoric. Protesters vowed to continue weekly demonstrations until their voices are heard at the national level.
