Two arrested at socialist anti-Trump protest after assault at 'closest entry point' to GOP convention: police

The Dallas Police Department confirmed with Fox News Digital that two protesters were arrested on charges related to their actions during the protest. The department said that officers assigned to the area arrested the two protesters after it said they "assaulted a counter-protester" and "obstructed a road."

The department said the suspects' names and specific charges will be released after they are booked into jail.

Majumdar said that the protest was organized by the "Dallas Against the Trump Agenda Coalition," which he said consists of 16 "faith-based organizations, pro-immigrants' rights groups and labor organizations."

He said that during the group's march "we encountered some street closures by the police" and that officers arrested a couple of protesters who "were at the front of the group."

Pressed on why the protesters were arrested, Majumdar said: "Those people were trying to draw people away from rioting provocateurs, and I think the police heard something and they immediately tackled two of them and arrested them and some of them even pulled out their guns as well."

Majumdar did not answer whether the protesters blocked any roads but said the confrontation occurred at the "closest entry point" to the convention.

Asked whether he had any message directly for President Donald Trump, Majumdar paused, smiled, and said, "Thank you."
