Veterans Face Down Pro-Trump Caravan, Defend Massive "Defund the Wall" Street Mural
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, hundreds of Trump supporters drove through the city of Laredo
on Saturday in support of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. The "Trump train"
demonstration was partly organized by the National Border Patrol
Council, which planned to drive over a giant street mural reading
"Defund the Wall. Fund Our Futures." They canceled those plans after
veterans of the U.S. military mobilized to repaint and defend the mural.
