Demonstrators said they wanted to show solidarity with those they feel may be targeted by Trump's policies once he takes office in January, including Mexicans and Muslims. Meanwhile, about a thousand protesters took part in an apparently spontaneous demonstration in Miami, hoisting signs against racism and opposing the deportation of undocumented immigrants. Several of the women carried placards that read "Unity" as they marched down the four-lane freeway in Costa Mesa. While most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, officials said some erupted in violence that caused property damage. There has also been an uptick in violence by both Clinton and Trump supporters against partisans on the other side, law enforcement officials said.
