A large crowd gathered at the Colorado Capitol on Tuesday evening to rally against federal immigration enforcement before marching through downtown Denver.
The protest spilled into the streets in front of the Capitol before moving down Lincoln Street and eventually Broadway.
At one point, protesters in the area of Broadway and Exposition Avenue were ordered to leave by the Denver Police Department.
In a video, a Denver police officer can be heard telling the crowd to disperse, “or all reasonable and necessary force will be used to make your arrest and prosecute you.”
Officers in tactical gear deployed tear gas and pushed the group down the street.
In a post on X, the Colorado State Patrol warned of large crowds and “possible unlawful road closures” downtown.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
