Protesters seek firing of state Rep. Rinaldi after sanctuary cities fracas at Capitol
One of my children saw the El Paso version of these protests http://www.statesman.com/news/protesters-seek-firing-state-rep-rinaldi-after-sanctuary-cities-fracas-capitol/ZLbV0EcZNsPfqAgqkLGT5M/
Opponents of State Rep. Matt Rinaldi who stirred up controversy during sanctuary cities protests inside the state Capitol on the final day of the Texas legislative session plan to demonstrate against the Irving Republican in Austin and four other Texas cities on Wednesday.
The Austin protest will take place at 111 Congress Ave. at 1 p.m., in front of the Dykema Gossett law firm, which employs Rinaldi at its Dallas office.
Rinaldi was at the center of a tense encounter in the Capitol, which included protests, death threats and the calling of immigration services.
May 29 was to be a day of congratulatory speeches, but all that was halted when protesters in the House Gallery were removed after chanting against Senate Bill 4, a measure that became a law banning so-called sanctuary cities in Texas.
