Trump's inauguration day will see mass protests in the US

Currently, about 30 groups are applying for permits to protest during and after Mr. Trump's inauguration on January 20.

There will be many large protests taking place in many localities in the US on the inauguration day of President Donald Trump on January 20, Reuters reported, citing information from the US National Park Service.

According to the US National Park Service, only three of the more than 30 groups that applied for protest permits on and after January 20 had protest content unrelated to protesting or congratulating Mr. Trump.

After being threatened with a lawsuit by an organization if it did not issue a protest permit, the National Park Service said on January 5 that it would begin issuing permits in the next few days. Applications for protest permits continue to pour into the agency.
