Nationwide Protests Hit El Paso! Residents Join Forces Against Trump & Musk Policies!

El Paso erupted in solidarity this week as thousands of residents took to the streets as part of the national “Hands Off” movement — a massive protest targeting the Trump–Musk administration’s controversial policies on immigration, healthcare, and education. Armed with signs, chants, and relentless energy, demonstrators flooded downtown El Paso, blocking traffic and demanding justice for marginalized communities. The protests are in response to what activists call “dangerous rollbacks” on human rights and public welfare. Local leaders, including city council members and educators, also made appearances, declaring El Paso a “city of resistance.” Drone footage of the protest went viral, with hashtags like #HandsOffTexas and #ElPasoResists trending nationwide. Authorities reported no major incidents, but riot police were on standby as tensions remained high. Organizers say this is only the beginning of a growing resistance movement in the southwest.
