Hundreds of people protested outside Donald Trump’s appearance at Sioux City West High School last night.
Organizer Ismael Valadez says they were there because of what he called Trumps harsh comments on immigration and Mexicans……….

Sioux City school officials said the event was not sponsored by the district, and that other candidates have used school facilities for campaign events.
