Many of the protesters in San Diego, a heavily Latino city that sits just 20 miles from the Mexican border, took issue with Trump's proposal to build a wall along the border and deport illegal immigrants.
The rally was initially declared peaceful but eventually sparked moments of violence after protesters threw objects at police and attempted to climb over a barricade. Several protesters were beaten back by San Diego Police officers armed with nightsticks, who declared the rally an "unlawful assembly" and ordered the crowd to disperse. Police also deployed pepper spray to break up the crowd.

The San Diego protest was not atypical of the scenes that have seemed to follow the GOP frontrunner wherever he goes. Last month, about 20 people were arrested at a Costa Mesa, California campaign stop, while earlier this week protesters outside a Trump event in Albuquerque, New Mexico lit fires and threw rocks at the convention center where the candidate was speaking.

"I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton," Trump said in a statement.
