ISU Police have designated a specific protest area ahead of Donald Trump’s campaign rally at Iowa State University on Tuesday.

Trump will host a rally at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center.

Nayelie Valenzuela, sophomore in biology and co-chair of Lucha, Latino’s United For Change, said her group is planning to protest at the event in the designated area, but the protest zone is open to anyone who wishes to demonstrate.

Below is a map provided by Valenzuela via ISU Police. The circled area is the protest zone, and the five “P” areas on the map represent where ISU Police plans to stage officers for security during the event.

Valenzuela said Tuesday’s protest will remain peaceful, just as the group’s protest during the Cy-Hawk football game Sept. 12 was. Trump, along with three other presidential candidates, visited Iowa State, and the sign of a Trump protester was ripped at the event.

The Daily will have coverage of both Trump’s remarks at Iowa State and any protests outside. Check our website during the event and read Wednesday’s print edition for coverage.
