Multiple protests land at Benton County Courthouse
May 5, 2025
Protesters gathered outside the Benton County Courthouse on May 1, and again on May 3 to protest actions by the Trump administration.
On Thursday, protesters gathered for May Day, a national protest which according to Erik Swartzendruber, a member of Standing Up for Racial Justice, is committed to supporting workers, immigrants and other vulnerable people being scapegoated.
Swartzendruber explained that scapegoating is used as a political tool that pits people against each other for the sake of division.
