Police setup multiple check points to search people and their bags. 185 buses were "detained" and kept from joining the rally. ID-checks, barricades, roving gangs of undercover cops, and agents provocateurs were also documented. Protesters were at the fence, but were brutally attacked by police when trying to move further. So far there have been 100-150 arrests and many injured protesters. Read more for a summary about morning events.
